C Sharp (programming language)
 |
The title of this article is wrong due to some technical limitations. The right title is C# (programming language). |
C# (pronounced "see sharp") is a computer programming language. It is developed by Microsoft. It was created to use all capacities of the .NET platform. The first version was released in 2001. C# is a modern language in active development, with the most recent version at time of writing being C# 13, which was released in June 2024 alongside .NET 9.[1] C#'s development team is led by Anders Hejlsberg, the creator of Delphi.

Execution Platform
- The Microsoft .NET platform;
- Free implementation of C# and .NET like Mono developed by Novell, or dotGNU developed by the Free Software Foundation.
Today, C# can be run on most platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS, etc.) without changing the source code. C# can be run on the Xbox 360 platform with a special framework.
Syntax
C# code is similar to C++ and Java code. The CLR (Common Language Runtime) is needed in order to run a C# program.[2]
"Hello, World!" example
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp"> /* This is a simple program in C#.
* It simply shows "Hello, World!" on the screen. */
using System; namespace HelloWorld {
class Hello
{
static void Main()
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
// The piece of code below is optional, but is needed to prevent the program from closing immediately.
Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit.");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
</syntaxhighlight>
Basic input example
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp"> /*
* This program asks for input from the user, i.e. a name. It then prints "Hello [name]", replacing [name] with whatever the person typed in. */
using System; namespace HelloWorld {
class Hello
{
static void Main()
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello, please type in your name:");
string name = Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine("Hello {0}",name);
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
</syntaxhighlight>
Integrated Development Environments
C# can be edited in a number of IDEs (Integrated Development Environments), some of which are listed below:
Windows:
Mac OS X:
- MonoDevelop (With limitations)
- Microsoft Visual Studio
Unix/Linux:
