Differences between VBScript and Javascript
Please note that there are several differences between VBScript and Javascript.
1. The syntax of creating function is different for VBScript and Javascript.
VBScript
function main
end function
Javascript
function testFunction()
{
}
2. Secondly, in VBScript, we can't assign variables using this method.
VBScript
dim a = "First variable"
Instead, we use this.
dim a
a = "First variable"
Instead, we use this.
dim a
a = "First variable"
Javascript
var a = "First variable" .
3. Declaration of variables
VBScript
We use the keyword, dim to declare a variable in VBScript.
Javascript
We are using the keyword var to declare a variable in Javascript.
