GoPubby - Differences Between the Three “C’s”

First, let’s talk about C. C is still a low-level programming language, but despite being published 40 years ago, it is still the most widely used programming language of all time. Programmers use it in operating systems, kernel-level software, hardware drivers, and applications that need to work with older code. C++ is considered an intermediate-level programming language, as it builds upon the low-level C language but has more advanced capabilities. It was enhanced with object-oriented programming capabilities without sacrificing speed or efficiency. If you want to start with object-oriented programming, stick with C++. C# (pronounced “C Sharp”) is a high-level, object-oriented programming language that is also built as an extension of C. It compiles into byte-code, rather than machine code. That means it executes on a virtual computer that translates it into machine code on the fly. While C# is the most technically complicated of the three languages, its syntax is less error-prone than C or C++ and can be learned relatively quickly. Overall, it doesn’t matter which programming language you start with—having more in your knowledge can be a go-to when impressing your friends! As always, we have found another amazing book that covers all of the essentials on Amazon. Here is the best of C++!
