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

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.

Languages Focus

Commenting code generally has three purposes: to document your code, for psuedo coding prior to coding, and to embed compiler directives. Most languages support both a single line comment and a multiple line comment. Some languages also use comments to give instructions to the compiler or interpreter.

VB.Net: ' or REM

Commenting Code
VB.Net, like all the VB-based languages, uses a single quote (') or the original class-style basic "REM" (most developers just use a quote). VB.Net does NOT have a multiple line comment.

Syntax Example:

'Single line comment.

REM Old school single line comment.

VB.Net Comments (' or REM) 2 certification questions.

JavaScript: // or /* ... */

Commenting Code
JavaScript uses "//" for a single line comment and /* */ for a multiple line comment.

Syntax Example:

//This is a single line comment.
 
/*
Multiple line
comment.
