Java and C# are so similar... I was wondering how they stand up against each other ?

Question

Java vs C#..your call..

Answer 1

They both are very similar. But powerful

Java runs on Java Virtual Machine. This makes it ideal to run on multiple platforms.

C# is a lot faster than Java. Mainly because when it's compiled it is compiled to machine language, making it a lot easier for your computer to run.
It is possible to run C# on multiple platforms.

I prefer programming writing with C#.

Answer 2

Out of Java and C# I've only programmed in C#, but I have a friend who's been programming in Java for a couple of years and says "C# is a better Java, it does right what Java does wrong." One thing he brought up were properties in C# vs getters and setters in Java.

Either way, this is just the opinion of one guy, so take it with a grain of salt. Personally, I love C#, it made understanding OOP concepts easy for me.

Answer 3

C# will do in windows Desktop App Dev,Windows Phone app dev..can it share the same code base for Android dev?

Answer 4

whereas in C#, I have to do a = Console.Readline();
variable = int.Parse(a);
