Why is the javascript i learn in college is different from SOLOLEARN?

Question

i am in the course now and we have never used 'var'
we have been using 'String' and 'int'

another difference is to print an output..i use 'System.out.print'
SOLOLEARN: 'document.write'

and most importantly where is public static void main? why are we using < > instead of { } to open and close a method.

if you have the answers please tell me. i'm new at this and would like to know the difference. :)
