C＃ C language [^ clang] has become one of the oldest and most popular programming languages due to its portability and early adoption by giant IT companies like Apple and Microsoft. .. [^ clang]: This is not a typo. Just in case.

Also known as C-sharp, C # is a C language spin-off developed by Microsoft in 2000. C # is an object-oriented language that builds around objects instead of actions and data instead of logic. C # features are similar to Java and are especially useful for developing Windows desktop applications and games.

However, C # can also be used to develop web and mobile applications. C # uses a syntax similar to C-derived languages like C ++ and is easy to learn if you come from another language in the C family. C # is often used to develop applications for large enterprises such as bank transaction processing. C # is the recommended language for making 2D and 3D video games using the popular Unity game engine. Today, C # is a multi-paradigm language that is widely used not only on Windows platforms, but also on Linux and iOS / Android platforms.
