Code Blocks (Java and Corel Paradox Cross Reference Guide)

By Mike Prestwood

Java versus Corel Paradox: A side by side comparison between Java and Corel Paradox.

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.

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");

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
