C# is simple, strict, object-oriented, modern, CLS subscribed programming language developed by Anders Hejlsberg and team.

Why simple? C# takes most of its basic semantics from the previously evolved programming languages such as C. So if you are aware of the concepts (semantics) of data types, variables, control structures, functions, files…of C, then it would be easy for you to program a basic C# program. It has similar syntax as that of C++. So if you are a master of C++ then within no time you can master C# programming…..

Why strict?
-C# is case-sensitive. You cannot write int as iNt. (Compile time error).
-C# warns you not to declare a variable which is uninitialized. (Compile time warning).
-C# is strongly typed language. You cannot assign a string value to an integer type variable……

Why Modern? C# is a general purpose language. It supports lot of modern programming conventions which help in developing modern applications. E.g. Support to use of properties instead of variables which help in providing code access security.

Why Object-Oriented? C# subscribe to the principles of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) such as Encapsulation, Abstraction, Inheritance, Polymorphism…

Why CLS subscribed? C# subscribes to the CLS (Common Language Specification). So it is going to generate the CIL (Common Intermediate Language) code after compilation which (CIL) is platform and language independent. Since C# subscribes to CLS it can be called as ‘C#.NET’.
