====== Default ======

VO has a ''Default'' statement. This is not typed and checks only if the passed value has a value of ''NIL''.

The ''Default'' statement in X# is strongly typed. This means that the compiler checks if the assigned value is of the correct type for the variable. There is another difference: since the .NET Framework does not knows about the Xbase datatype ''NIL'', it checks if the variable is ''NULL''.

<code>local oList as List<string>
  default oList to List<string>{}</code>
  
This code gives a compile error (as expected):

<code>local oList as List<string>
  default oList to ""</code>
