How do you pronounce the name of the programming language 'Visual C#'? is it "sea hash"?

How is this language related to C, C+ and C++?

How do you pronounce the name of the programming language 'Visual C#'? is it "sea hash"?
It is pronounced Visual C Sharp.
Reply:C# is read as : sea sharp. C+ doesn't exist. C++ is the step up frm C. C# has various differences 2 C++ %26amp; personally I find it a lot easier 2 understand that C++. (Maybe 2 do with my crap @ explaining teacher who happens 2 b a DR!!! in Comp.Eng --(((( )
Reply:C Sharp is the answer.
Reply:The language is called "sea sharp", which is an ECMA standard (1). Although Microsoft invented the language, there are other implementations of it. Visual C# is Microsoft's implementation of the C# language.





It is related to other C languages (C and C++) by the fact that it uses the C syntax. Also Microsoft wants to replace the previous dominate languages of C, C++ and Java (also a C syntax language) with C#, so they gave it a name that made it look like the predecessor to C and C++.





The difference between C and C++ was the move from procedural or functional programming to object orientated programming. The big difference with C# is the removal of pointers and working within the .NET framework. There is no use of C# outside of the .NET CLI (Common Language Infrastructure), which is also an ECMA standard (2).





Keep in mind that Microsoft isn't the only one to implement that framework though. There is a number of other implementations, with the most notable one being MONO (3), which is a cross platform open source implementation.





Interestingly, how C++ got its name is that in the C language there is a ++ operator that takes the value of a variable, increases it by one, and then uses that value. So to write C++ is to say C = C + 1.





So Microsoft took C++ and they moved the first plus up a little bit, and the second plus down a little bit, then they moved them closer together so they overlapped. If you clean that up then you have the # symbol in C#.





So depending on why you wanted to know all this that is a pretty good basis of trivial knowledge.

c+ and c++ are variations of the c porgramming language
Reply:sea sharp as in the muscal #
Reply:It is called MS Visual C Sharp (pronounced see-sharp). There is no language called C+.





C# is a brand new language that actually has its roots in JAVA!! This language is Microsoft's answer to Sun's J2EE technologies. C and C++ are lower level languages that allow you greater control over you code than C#, but they are both more difficult to work with.





C#'s claim to fame is that once you learn it, programming in VB.Net and J#.Net is easy.
Reply:if you want to be a real geek then it is "see octothorpe" that little symbol is called an octothorpe because the designers thoughts it kinda looked like a town surrounded by eight fields. thorpe being an old english name for town
Reply:or just do what Smiddy does and make a kind of hacking cough sound after the C part...





Boss loves that.
Reply:it is better called as C Sharp





and there is no language called C+


C# is more adanced than C and C++ with lot many libraries integrated and is pure object oriented language.
Reply:It's "See Sharp". Never heard of language C+. And it's very much different than C and C++.
