Code Blocks (ASP Classic and Delphi Prism Cross Reference Guide)

By Mike Prestwood

ASP Classic versus Delphi Prism: A side by side comparison between ASP Classic 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.

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.

ASP Classic: End Xxx

In .ASP html pages, you embed ASP code between <% and %>.

ASP Classic code blocks are surrounded by statement ending keywords that all use End such as End Sub, End If, and WEnd.

Syntax Example:

<%

Sub x

End Sub

If x Then

End If

While x

WEnd

%>

Delphi Prism: begin..end

Same as in Delphi for Win32 but Prism also supports inline variable declaration.

Syntax Example:

function DoSomething : integer;

var

 a, b : integer;

begin

 a := 1;

 b := 2;

 var c : integer; //Prism allows inline (local) variables.

 c := a + b;

 result := c;

end;
