End of Statement (Cross Ref > Language Basics)

By Mike Prestwood

C++/CLI versus Delphi Prism: A side by side comparison between C++/CLI and Delphi Prism.

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.

End of Statement

[Other Languages]

Languages Focus

In coding languages, common End of statement specifiers include a semicolon and return (others exist too). Also of concern when studying a language is can you put two statements on a single code line and can you break a single statement into two or more code lines.

C++/CLI: ;

Same as standard C++. C++ uses a semicolon ";" as an end of statement specifier and you can put multiple statements on a single line of code if you wish as well as split a single statement into two or more code lines.

Syntax Example:

//.Net WinForms example.

//Add, using namespace System::Windows::Forms;

MessageBox::Show("Hello1");

MessageBox::Show("Hello2");

MessageBox::Show("Hello3");

MessageBox::Show("Hello4"); MessageBox::Show("Hello5");

MessageBox::

  Show

    ("Hello6");

Delphi Prism: ;

Object Pascal uses a semicolon ";" as an end of statement specifier and you can put multiple statements on a single line of code and put a single statement on two or more code lines if you wish.

Syntax Example: 1 certification question.

MessageBox.Show("Hello1");

MessageBox.Show("Hello2");

MessageBox.Show("Hello3");
 
//Same line works too:

MessageBox.Show("Hello4");  MessageBox.Show("Hello5");
 
//Two or more lines works too: 
MessageBox.Show
  ("Hello6");
