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

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?

Oh, haha, got it. Thanks
“We did make C better, but what you’re getting back from us isn’t the better thing.”
🙂
There is no c+. The reason is that ++ means “increment by 1” in c itself (and many other languages).
Okay, thanks
It’s funny that in spanish only the “c” is translated.
We say “ce sharp”
Same in French
Same in Brazilian Portuguese
It’s sick as hell!
