    Dim First_Value As Integer, Second_Value As Integer
        
    'Assign values to variable
    First_Value = 100: Second_Value = 100
    
    If First_Value = Second_Value Then
        MsgBox "Result: " & True, vbInformation, "VBAF1"
    Else
        MsgBox "Result: " & False, vbInformation, "VBAF1"
    End If
        
End Sub
