and interface.
8. In C#, constructors are used to initialize an object.
9. Object cleanup can be explicitly done by destructor in C#.
10. In C#, an object is subject to asynchronous modification
using volatile keyword.
11. In C#, all the variables have to be declared before
being used.
12. In C#, default property is defined by using indexers.
13. In C#, base class can be referred using the keyword ‘base’.
14. Abstract class of C# can only be inherited and not
instantiated.
15. Sealed keyword of C# is used to denote that a class
cannot be inherited.
16. Division can be performed in C# using / operator.
17. Remainder of division can be retrieved using mod

|| (Boolean OR).

VB.NET:

1.In VB.NET, the variables are declared using keywords such

11.In VB.NET, variables can be forced for explicit
declaration using Option Explicit.
12.In VB.NET, default property is defined using Default.

class can only be inherited and not instantiated.
15.NotInheritable keyword of VB.NET denotes that the class
cannot involve in inheritance.
16.Division can be performed in VB.NET using \ operator.
17.Remainder of division can be retrieved using %.
18.In VB.NET, exponentiation can be performed using ^ operator.
19.Bitwise operators in VB.NET are And, Or, Xor.
20.Object reference variables can be compared using Is
operator in VB.NET.
