Java vs Jeroo

Compare Visual Basic syntax to Java syntax using Jeroo

Problem description: This program will place a Jeroo at the beginning of row 4, and it will travel to the end of the row. If it sees a flower ahead, it will go around it on the right, if a net, it will go around on the left

Java solution

Visual Basic solution

method main(){
      Jeroo Thor = new Jeroo(4,0,12);
   
      // keep going across the row, as long as I 
      // haven't run into the water
      while (!Thor.isWater(AHEAD)){
         // if flower ahead, go around on right 
         // else if net, go around on left
   
         if (Thor.isFlower(AHEAD))
             Thor.goAroundRight();

         else if (Thor.isNet(AHEAD))
            Thor.goAroundLeft();
