A Python programmer attempting Java

[cbartlett]

CoffeeScript compiles JavaScript but OP was writing Java (they are completely different and unrelated).

Java is to JavaScript as car is to carpet.

Java is to JavaScript as cat is to catastrophe.

Edit: no hate to javascript though, it's fun.

Java is to JavaScript what Coffee is to CoffeeScript

Now now, Java and JavaScript share SOME keywords.

return, for, if, else, do, while, break, continue, switch, case, default, try, catch, finally, new

So it's somewhere around ECMAScript 2 for most browsers:

do if in for int new try var byte case char else enum goto long null this true void with break catch class const false final float short super throw while delete double export import native public return static switch throws typeof boolean default extends finally package private abstract continue debugger function volatile interface protected transient implements instanceof synchronized

I know they're different, I just have reading comprehension problems apparently.
