How does VB.NET handle object-oriented programming compared to Java?

The question is about VB.NET

Answer:

VB.NET and Java both handle object-oriented programming (OOP) with core concepts like inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism, but their syntax and structure differ. VB.NET uses more verbose, English-like syntax, making it more readable, especially for beginners, while Java uses C-style syntax with braces and semicolons. VB.NET has some features that make it somewhat peculiar in its own right, such as the Friend access modifier, which is specific to assemblies, and the compact property syntax for getters and setters. Java does not have these but uses separate methods for them. Both provide for interfaces and abstract classes. VB.NET is more generally available within a Windows environment because it’s integrated into Microsoft products, while Java, though one of the most popular languages in cross-platform development, simply because it’s portable.
