Do you know why sharp is added to the end of programming languages? Like c sharp and f sharp?
Actually, I don't even know if it is pronounced c sharp or f sharp. I just assumed it was the same as music.
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.
Rad. Thanks! What do the pluses denote in a programming language? What's the difference between c+, c++ and c sharp?
There is no c+. The reason is that ++ means "increment by 1" in c itself (and many other languages).
Okay, thanks
