=== Differences with Java === * JScript .NET syntax and [[lexical conventions]] are similar to [[Java (programming language)|Java]] in that both are derived from [[C (programming language)|C]]. JScript was originally Microsoft's implementation of [[ECMAScript]], which is more commonly known as [[JavaScript]], though it is unrelated to Java. Thus, users of Java and other C-derived languages will find JScript easier to learn. * JScript .NET allows developers to use [[Variable (computer science)#Typing|untyped variables]], and can sometimes infer their type from their usage to optimize the compiled code. On the other hand, Java requires all variables to be typed. * JScript .NET can add properties and methods to objects in [[Run time (program lifecycle phase)|run-time]], while Java objects always conform to their declared interface. * JScript .NET supports [[global variables]], something Java does not.
