VBA vs Java - how to describe the difference

Question

im very aware of VBA (programming in it for about 2 years but don't have a degree) and just got my first steps into java.

i have a problem with one difference between those two. I'm sure there is a technical name for the aspect I'm talking about.. you may help me with the technical correct description and maybe confirm if I'm right with what I'm explaining now:

Answer 1

.. in java it is more like, create 4 classes, 6 objects, 4 of them to this, 2 get a fancy method to do that, end program

VBA is mostly a functional language with a few object-oriented capacities, while Java is an object-oriented language.
That's why you have to solve same tasks by different approaches.
