What is C#
C# is pronounced as "C-Sharp". It is an object-oriented programming language provided by Microsoft that runs on .Net Framework.
By the help of C# programming language, we can develop different types of secured and robust applications:
Window applications
Web applications
Distributed applications
Web service applications
Database applications etc.
C# is approved as a standard by ECMA and ISO. C# is designed for CLI (Common Language Infrastructure). CLI is a specification that describes executable code and runtime environment.
C# programming language is influenced by C++, Java, Eiffel, Modula-3, Pascal etc. languages.
C# Features
C# is object oriented programming language. It provides a lot of features that are given below.
Simple
Modern programming language
Object oriented
Type safe
Interoperability
Scalable and Updateable
Component oriented
Structured programming language
Rich Library
Fast speed
1) Simple
C# is a simple language in the sense that it provides structured approach (to break the problem into parts), rich set of library functions, data types etc.
2) Modern Programming Language
C# programming is based upon the current trend and it is very powerful and simple for building scalable, interoperable and robust applications.
3) Object Oriented
C# is object oriented programming language. OOPs makes development and maintenance easier where as in Procedure-oriented programming language it is not easy to manage if code grows as project size grow.
4) Type Safe
C# type safe code can only access the memory location that it has permission to execute. Therefore it improves a security of the program.
5) Interoperability
Interoperability process enables the C# programs to do almost anything that a native C++ application can do.
6) Scalable and Updateable
C# is automatic scalable and updateable programming language. For updating our application we delete the old files and update them with new ones.
7) Component Oriented
C# is component oriented programming language. It is the predominant software development methodology used to develop more robust and highly scalable applications.
8) Structured Programming Language
C# is a structured programming language in the sense that we can break the program into parts using functions. So, it is easy to understand and modify.
9) Rich Library
C# provides a lot of inbuilt functions that makes the development fast.
10) Fast Speed
The compilation and execution time of C# language is fast.
