Syntactical Structure
|
Python |
Java |
|
Lexical items on a
single line are separated by zero or more spaces. Indentation is
significant and is used to mark syntactical structures, such as statement
blocks and code within function, class, and method definitions. A phrase can be broken
and continued on the next line after a comma, or by using the '\' symbol. The headers of control
statements and function, class, and method definitions end with a colon (:). |
Indentation is not
significant, so all lexical items are separated by zero or more spaces. Blocks of code in
statements and definitions are enclosed in curly braces ({}). Simple statements end
with a semicolon (;). Boolean expressions in
loops and if statements are enclosed in parentheses. |
