    Does anybody here that knows more than two programming languages ever confuse the two? For example, PERL requires a ; at the end of a LOT of lines (altough not all) but VB doesn't. SO, I often put a semicolon after VB lines.

    Anyway... just thought it would be a neat thing to ask.

    I know Visual Basic, Java, and C++. I usually can keep the pretty much separate. However, I do have three problems:
    1) I get C++ and Java function calls screwed up all the time
    2) I declare C++ and Java arrays like VB arrays
    3) I get select and switch screwed up.

    Not a bad question at all.

    I program in VB, C/C++, Java, VB/JavaScript, ASP and all different databases (personal like Access, dBase, FoxPro and ODBC like SQL Server, Oracle, Sybase etc) Sometimes I do get confused with the syntax. For example in C/C++ it requires you to put semicolon at the end of the statement, so sometimes I put semicolon in VB (duh!!!). But in general I'm doing pretty good keeping those things clean.

    I currently use VB5 and TCL/TK although I have used C, Pascal and a few varieties of Basic.
    Fortunately, VB and TCL are so different I rarely get them confused.
    Of course to complicate things, I'm learning Java too.........

    I'm a MS fan so I program in VB, VC, VJ++, Fox Pro and Interdev. Oh and Turbo Pascal for DOS ("nobless oblige"). Althought I don't need daily to programm in all these languages I sometimes think in a func in VB and then write it in VC. I'm not a genius so I get sometimes pretty confused (and the application too).

    Sometimes I declare a matrix in VB in C/C++ style:

    Dim Matrix[50][100] As Long

    I got the semicolon effect backwards - sometimes I forget to put a semicolon in C/C++/Pascal...

    And I always forget to put a semicolon after the closing braces of a class in C++, but that's a different story!

    I do VB, VB Script, Java, Perl and I do get them mixed up on occasion. It always sucks when you do cause it's not always an easy thing to find.
