C, C++, and C Sharp. What's the difference? Let's start with C.
C programming language, invented by Dennis Ritchie in 1972, is the oldest and most widely used of the three. Originally designed for the development of a new version of Unix, C revolutionized programming and operating system. As a low-level language, it performs almost as efficiently as assembly code. and requires minimal runtime support.
Despite being published 40 years ago, C is still widely used in operating systems, kernel-level software, hardware drivers, and applications that require older code. Many old-school programmers recommend C as the best starting point for newer languages and may offer security benefits due to its age and smaller user base, making it less attractive to hackers. C++, an extension of the C programming language.
C-sharp compiles into bytecode, allowing it to be translated into machine code on the fly. It adds garbage collection, uninitialized variable checking, bound checking, and type checking capabilities to the base C code. C-sharp is typically used in internal or enterprise applications found in client and server development within the.NET framework. Despite being technically complicated, C-sharp's syntax is less error-prone and can be learned quickly. To sum up, use C if you're looking to write low-level applications with high control over hardware.
Use C++ if you're looking to write low-level applications with more control. Use C sharp if you don't like the look of Java and if you are looking to write high level applications. If you enjoy watching, like and subscribe.
