Introduction to C
C# is a modern, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft and approved by Ecma and ISO.
C# was developed by Anders Hejlsberg and his team during the development of the .Net framework.
C# is designed for the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI), which consists of executable code and runtime environment allowing use of various high-level languages on different computer platforms and architectures.
Here are the reasons why C# is widely used as a professional language:
Modern, general-purpose programming language.
Object-oriented.
Component-oriented.
Easy to learn.
Structured language.
It produces efficient programs.
It can be compiled on a variety of computer platforms.
Part of the .Net framework.
Powerful Programming Features of C
Although C# is very close to traditional high-level languages like C and C++ and is an object-oriented language, it is very similar to Java and has many powerful programming features, which is why it is favored by a large number of programmers.
Here are some important features of C#:
Boolean conditions
Automatic garbage collection
Standard library
Assembly versioning
Properties and events
Delegates and event management
Easy-to-use generics
Indexers
Conditional compilation
Simple multithreading
LINQ and Lambda expressions
Integration with Windows
