Establishes the default object for a statement.

Syntax

with (object)
   statement

The with statement syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
object	The new default object.
statement	The statement for which object is the default object. Can be a compound statement.

Remarks

The with statement is commonly used to shorten the amount of code that you have to write in certain situations. In the example that follows, notice the repeated use of Math:

x = Math.cos(3 * Math.PI) + Math.sin(Math.LN10) 
y = Math.tan(14 * Math.E)

When you use the with statement, your code becomes shorter and easier to read:

with (Math)
{
  x = cos(3 * PI) + sin (LN10)  
  y = tan(14 * E)
}
