C#, also known as C Sharp, is an object-oriented programming language developed in the 2000s by Anders Hejlsberg of Microsoft. It was later approved by ECMA-334 (International Standard) in 2002 and ISO/IEC 23270 in 2003. It is used for developing applications that need to take advantage of the latest computer technology. The language is widely used in Microsoft software development. Because it is part of the .NET framework, many developers choose C# over the more common Java.
C# is a general-purpose programming language designed for developing applications in the .NET framework, including applications for the Microsoft Windows operating system, Microsoft Windows Phone and Silverlight, the .NET Compact Framework, Windows Store applications, Windows Phone 8, Windows RT, and Xbox One. It is a language that provides static typing, strong typing, imperative, functional, generic, declarative, object-oriented (class-based), and component-oriented programming.
C++ is an object-oriented programming language developed by Bjarne Stroustrup, a computer scientist from Denmark. It is considered an extension of the C programming language. The C++ programming language has evolved significantly over time. Today, C++ includes object-oriented, generic and functional functions in addition to low-level memory manipulation capabilities.
It is a general-purpose language that allows developers to program using either a procedural or object-oriented paradigm. It was designed with efficiency, security, portability and extensibility in mind.
C++ is generally used in commercial applications and also in scientific computing, where it is known primarily as a compiled language. It is often used with compilers that support both C++ and another language, such as Java. There are also many vendors of C++ compilers, including the Free Software Foundation, LLVM, Microsoft, Oracle, and IBM, and they are available for many platforms.
