So, what's the difference between C, C++, and C#?

Question

I'm just wondering what are the differences between these languages and what are the useful advantages of using each of these? What should I be focusing on?

Obviously, I'm a newbie when it comes to programming. So, can you guys just simplify it a little bit for me? Because I have no idea what a lot of programmers are saying when they're explaining things. I'm not smart enough to know what most things programming-related are anyways.

Answer 1

Most Microsoft apps are written in C#. iOS development is done in either Objective-C or Swift.

Answer 2

the main difference is that " each language is created for different purpose "
c->it is the first language which has all the features (in 90's)
c++ -> after they thought"c" is not enough for doing all different activities and added objects(partially).
c# -> actually it is the copy of java by changing in syntax(just a little bit,not much).

and,
c is procedure oriented language
c++ is partially object oriented
c# is object oriented programming language

c#(by Microsoft) and java(by sun microsystems) are almost same.
c# is more stable than java.

Answer 3

c# is by microsoft.. https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_Sharp_(programming_language)

i think swift and java is mostly used for apple software

Answer 4

your aims and missions determines the language you want to indulge in. am a CPP programmer

Answer 5

C -> Before OOP was big. The Official translated language for computers!

C++ -> Hm.. Lets improve C. Hello Classes!

C# -> Hm.. Lets go higher level.
HI Garbage Collector!

Answer 6

So, C++ is basically an updated version of C and C# is a higher-level programming language but crappier? I heard C# is mostly used in Apple software.
