Code Blocks (VB.Net and Java Cross Reference Guide)

By Mike Prestwood

VB.Net versus Java: A side by side comparison between VB.Net and Java.

 
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.

VB.Net:   End Xxx

VB.Net, like VB Classic code blocks, are surrounded by statement ending keywords that all use End such as End Class, End Sub, End Function, and End If.

Syntax Example: 
Public Class Dog
End Class
 
Protected Sub MySub
End Sub
  
Public Shared Function MySharedFunction() As Integer
 MySharedFunction = 12345
End Function 
 
If x Then
End If
Java:   { }

Curly braces are used to bracket code blocks including classes and the methods within a class.

For Java, JavaScript, PHP, and C++, I prefer to put the first { at the end of the first line of the code block as in the example above because I see moreJava codeformatted that way.

Syntax Example: 
public class Dog {
  public bark() {
    System.out.println("Ruff");
  }
}
