C# (Programming Language)

C# (pronounced "C sharp") is a statically typed, object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft and first released in 2000. It compiles to an intermediate language that the .NET runtime executes, and it is garbage collected.

Why it matters

C# is the main language of the .NET ecosystem, used for ASP.NET web applications and APIs, Windows software, cloud services and, through the Unity engine, a large number of games. It has evolved quickly, adding generics, LINQ queries, async/await and pattern matching, while .NET itself now runs on Windows, Linux and macOS. Teams working in Microsoft-centric environments often choose it for its tooling and strong typing.

Example

using System;
using System.Linq;

var scores = new[] { 3, 8, 5 };
var top = scores.Where(s => s > 4).Max();
Console.WriteLine(top);

Where filters the array and Max picks the largest remaining value, so the program prints 8. The var keyword infers the type at compile time.

Common mistakes

• Blocking on async code with .Result or .Wait(), which can cause deadlocks.
• Forgetting to dispose of resources such as database connections with using.
• Confusing null handling after enabling nullable reference types.
