starmanAnon discovers .NET
PencilnoobF# is so dope too
VarykDo you know why sharp is added to the end of programming languages? Like c sharp and f sharp?
Actually, I don’t even know if it is pronounced c sharp or f sharp. I just assumed it was the same as music.

There was (and still is) a language called C. Then C++ was invented. And then C#, maybe because # looks kinda like 4 pluses.
There is also another programming paradigm, called functional programming. F# is a functional programming language and runs on the same platform as C# (that platform is called .NET). That’s why they named it F#.

Yes, it’s pronounced see sharp.
Very cool, thank you for explaining that.
No problemo
a sharp symbol is ++ stacked on top of ++ So C ++ ++ becomes C#
Phonetically, It is C sharp because it sounds cooler than C hash or C pound.
Also because in music, C# is a half-note higher than C.
Rad. Thanks! What do the pluses denote in a programming language? What’s the difference between c+, c++ and c sharp?
There is no c+. The reason is that ++ means “increment by 1” in c itself (and many other languages).
Okay, thanks
++ is the increment operator in C, which increases a value by 1. C++ was intended to be an improvement on C, and so it’s saying that C++ is C incremented. C# is C++ ++ or C++ incremented. It’s just a bunch of programmer jokes. There isn’t a C+ afaik.
Oh, haha, got it. Thanks

It’s funny that in spanish only the “c” is translated.
We say “ce sharp”
Same in French
