The CSS language is very close to C. However there are differences; the most significant are:

  • The one and only variable type is var which (likely to REXX variables) my hold any number or string. No pointers, struct's and typedef's. (struct functionality is however possible by arrays)

  • No goto's.

  • Exception handling by try/catch/throw, fully interoperable with VisualAge C++ IException's. (Throw an exception in C++ and catch it in CSS or vice versasa.

  • Dynamic array allocation and reallocation.

The differences are more detailed explained in the following sections.
