Delimiting the main code in JScript.NET

Delimiting the main code in JScript.NET

Most programming languages delimit the main program section with a keyword such as Main() or main(). JScript.NET and JavaScript are different. Luckily, the main code in JScript.NET is not delimited in any way and you can write the code outside. You can write it before, after, or in between the class definitions.

Here is an example that includes two class definitions followed by the main code section:

// compile with: jsc inheritance.js

  class Base {
    protected var i : int = 5;
    public function PrintInBase() : void {
      print("i is " +  i);
    }
  }

  class Derived extends Base {
    var d : double = 7.3;
    public function PrintInDerived() : void {
      print("i is " + i + ", d is " + d);
    }
  }

  var b : Base = new Base();
  print("b:");
  b.PrintInBase();
  var d : Derived = new Derived();
  print("d:");
  d.PrintInBase();
  d.PrintInDerived();
