VB is famously rather loose in terms of syntax and allows you to leave many things implicit and let the compiler "figure out" what you meant, but it can make it very easy for you to write something that the compiler interprets differently than you, leading to runtime issues. If you are that ambiguous in Java or C#, the compiler often will refuse to compile the code at all until you satisfy its need for certainty as to your expectations. | |
