Rad. Thanks! What do the pluses denote in a programming language? What's the difference between c+, c++ and c sharp?

[-] lili_thana@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 5 months ago

++ 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.

There is no c+. The reason is that ++ means "increment by 1" in c itself (and many other languages).

Okay, thanks
