C Sharp
C Sharp, often written as C#, is a popular programming language developed by Microsoft. It is widely used for building Windows applications, web services, and games. C# is an object-oriented language that offers strong typing, scalability, and a rich set of libraries, making it a versatile choice for software development.

...C# combines the range of the powerful but complicated C++ (pronounced “see plus plus”) with the ease of use of the friendly but more verbose Visual Basic. (Visual Basic’s newer.NET incarnation is almost on par with C# in most respects. As the flagship language of.NET, C# tends to introduce most new features first.) A C# program file carries the extension.cs. Some wags have pointed out that C-sharp and D-flat are the same note, but you shouldn’t refer to this new language as “D-flat” within earshot of Redmond, Washington. C# is ♦ Flexible: C# programs can execute on the current machine, or they can be transmitted over the Web and executed on some distant computer. ♦ Powerful: C# has essentially the same command set as C++ but with the rough edges filed smooth. ♦ Easier to use: C# error-proofs the commands responsible for most C++ errors, so you spend far less time chasing down those errors. ♦ Visually oriented: The.NET code library that C# uses for many of its capabilities provides the help needed to readily create complicated display frames with drop-down lists, tabbed windows, grouped buttons, scroll bars, and background images, to name just a few. ♦ Internet-friendly: C# plays a pivotal role in the.NET Framework, Microsoft’s current approach to programming for Windows, the Internet, and beyond..NET is pronounced dot net. ♦ Secure: Any language intended for use on the Internet must include serious security to protect against malevolent hackers. Finally, C# is an integral part of.NET. This book is primarily about the C# language. If your primary goal is to use Visual Studio, program Windows applications, or use ASP.NET, the For Dummies books on those topics go well with this book. You can find a good amount of information later in this book on how to use C# to write Windows, Web, and service applications...

III C Programming Languages C Programming languages 231 234 C Programming Languages The family of C programming languages, consisting of C, C++, C#, and Objective-C, is a set of similar languages from different paradigms. The first of these languages, C, serves as the foundation for the set because its syntax, structure, and logic strongly influenced the development of the latter languages. Perhaps the most notable difference is that C# and Objective-C are object-oriented languages using classes that gain additional programming properties to build on the C language. The C++ language is inherently capable of object-oriented programming, but its flexibility also allows it to be programmed in the same paradigm as C. Due to the large number of similarities between them, a deeper understanding of C facilitates learning the other languages, as its programming principles can be generalized to the others. For that reason, this entry focuses on C, providing programming principles, sample code, compilation, and applications to educational research, measurement, and evaluation. Programming Principles in C Programming languages follow paradigms or ways of writing code at different levels of abstraction (i.e., how closely the language resembles the binary machine code of 0s and 1s). C follows an imperative (and more specifically, procedural) paradigm, which means that the code describes how to perform a task. C code accomplishes tasks using functions, a term that bears similarity to the mathematical definition. Functions use input to produce output, although this is not always the case. Some functions perform tasks with no explicit input values required, and others use input to perform a task with no specific output values...

...In this book, we will not be using Haskell (Thompson, 2011) or any functional programming language (so no f(g(x)) for us in this work). Also, we do not consider a logic programming language, such as Prolog. We will consider object-oriented concepts, as necessary. Object-oriented languages, such as C++, C# (C Sharp), Objective-C, and Java include imperative language components. Indeed, C++, C#, and Objective-C are implementations of C with objects. C, like JavaScript, Perl, Lua, Swift, Java, and Python, all have imperative (procedural) language components, which enable input/output, and solve problems using the following core elements: Variables in one of three data types (character, numeric, or Boolean); Three types of statements (i.e., assignment, conditional, iterative); Data structures (arrays and files); and Decomposition (subroutines, variably called procedures, functions, or methods). We focus on those core elements in this chapter and throughout the book. Even if you have never written a computer program before, you will write an interactive program in JavaScript in the first section of this chapter. By the end of the third section of this chapter (3.1.3), you will write a program in JavaScript to solve an instructional problem. You will also use JavaScript to create the apps in Chapters 4 and 7. In Chapters 5 and 6, you will transfer your knowledge of JavaScript to C# (C Sharp) and Python, respectively. Transferring your knowledge and skills to C# and Python will enable you to learn other computer programming languages, as well as to gain confidence in the extensibility of your knowledge. Extending knowledge across multiple development environments increases your capabilities and favors efforts to make instructional apps ubiquitous across multiple digital devices. 3.1 Procedural Programming JavaScript is both a procedural programming language and object oriented...
