The realtopic of Part II starts on the next page with the discussion about the VB.NET Program Statement . You might be a little disappointed in the relatively light explanation in the book. I think that we can do better than just a couple of examples of a program statement that are found in the book. You should already know pretty well by now anyway.
The reason that the book doesn't give you all the details is that the really authoritative description just bogs you down too much to be useful. For example, here's the authoritative description of a program statement in BNF (Backus-Naur Form - the way computer scientists describe language syntax) from Microsoft:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Statement ::=
LocalDeclarationStatement |
WithStatement |
SyncLockStatement |
EventStatement |
AssignmentStatement |
InvocationStatement |
ConditionalStatement |
LoopStatement |
ErrorHandlingStatement |
BranchStatement |
ArrayHandlingStatement
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
