-- Case Sensitivity

   Java is case             Visual Basic is not 
   sensitive.               case sensitive.

-- Screen Output

   System.out.println(x);   System.Console.WriteLine(x)
   System.out.print(x);     System.Console.Write(x)

-- Conversion to Another Datatype.

   n is an integer, x is a double, s is a String.   

   x = (double) n;             x = CType(n, Double)
   x = Double.parseDouble(s);  x = CType(s, Double)

   n = (int) x;                n = CType(x, Integer)
   n = Integer.parseInt(s);    n = CType(x, Integer)
   
   s = String.valueOf(n);      s = CType(n, String)
   s = String.valueOf(x);      s = CType(x, String)
