In this paper, variational iteration method is applied for finding the solution of differential equations with piecewise constant arguments. A correction functional is constructed by a general Lagrange multiplier, which can be identified by variational theory. This technique provides a sequence of functions which converges to the exact solution of the problem without discretization of the variables. The flexibility and adaptation provided by the method have been verified by an example.
