Editing JScript .NET (section)

=== Differences with C++ ===
* JScript .NET does not require a [[Main function (programming)|main()]] [[function (programming)|function]].
* JScript .NET does not require explicit [[type declaration]] on variables. (In [[C++]], the use of templates and generics can be compared to this, loosely emulated with template specialization, etc.)
* JScript .NET also does not require explicit [[Type conversion|type casts]] on variable use in the program. Code used to retrieve a string of characters, but only used for integer numbers can be cast implicitly; the vice versa can be done without error at compile time, but there is a chance of loss of precision or data.
e.g.:
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript">
import System;

Console.WriteLine("Hello, what's your name?");
Console.WriteLine("Type your name: ");

var _name = Console.ReadLine();

Console.WriteLine("Hello, " + _name);
</syntaxhighlight>
