Code Blocks (Cross Ref > Language Details)

By Mike Prestwood

Corel Paradox versus C++: A side by side comparison between Corel Paradox and C++.

Language Basics

Language basics is kind of a catch all for absolute beginner stuff. The items (common names) I chose for language basics is a bit random and include items like case sensitivity, commenting, declaring variables, etc.

Code Blocks

[Other Languages]

Languages Focus

The rules for code blocks within a language dictate where you can declare variables, how you "bracket" code, etc.

Corel Paradox: endXxxx

ObjectPAL code blocks are surrounded by statement ending keywords that all use End with camel caps such as endMethod, endVar, endIf, endSwitch, and endTry.

Syntax Example:

method

endMethod

var

endVar

if

endIf

switch

endSwitch

try

endTry

C++: { }

For C++, Java, JavaScript, and PHP, I will use Berkeley indent style only because I see more C++ code formatted that way.

Syntax Example:

int Dog::Bark() {
 cout << "My first class method!" << endl;
 return 0;
};
