1 - 1 Overview and C# History

C# is an object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft that is similar to C++ but was designed for the Common Language Infrastructure. It was initially called COOL but was renamed C# as it is a step above C++. A C# program is a text file with a sequence of commands that is compiled into an executable file. The program structure uses curly brackets, semicolons, and variables can be declared with data types.

Overview and C# History

Objectives

1 Discuss the brief history of C# language;

2 Explain the program structure in C# and the


use of comments in a C# program;

3
Define a C# program and discuss how do we
create a program.

2
C# Defined

● C# is a modern, general-purpose, object-


oriented programming language developed by
Microsoft and approved by Ecma and ISO.
● C# was developed by Anders Hejlsberg and his
team during the development of .Net
Framework.

3
C# Defined

● syntax is similar to C++


● Initially called COOL for C-like Object Oriented
Language
● Renamed C# because it is a step above C/C++
○ # (sharp) means a semi-tone above in music
○ Can also be viewed as a stacked 4 pluses so
C++++

4
C# Defined

● C# is designed for Common Language


Infrastructure (CLI), which consists of the
executable code and runtime environment that
allows use of various high-level languages to be
used on different computer platforms and
architectures.

5
Program Structure

• Lower case
• Case SENSITIVE
• “I need Curly Brackets! { }”
• “I love semicolons ;”
• Close curly brackets }
• Variable Declaration:
string name = “C#”;

6
Program Structure

• Single Line Comments:


//comment here

• Multiple Line Comments:


/*
Comments here
*/

7
What is a Program?

• A C# program is a text file containing a sequence of C#


commands put together according to the laws of C#
grammar.

• This text file is known as the source file (probably because


it’s the source of all frustration).

• A C# source file carries the extension .CS just as a


Microsoft Word file ends in .DOC or an MS-DOS
(remember that?) batch file ends in .BAT. The concept
extension CS is just a convention.
How do I Program?

• To write a program, you need two specialized


computer programs. One (an editor) is what you
use to write your code as you build your .CS source
file.
• The other (a compiler) converts your source file
into a machine-executable .EXE file that carries out
your real-world commands (open spreadsheet,
make rude noise, deflect incoming asteroid,
whatever).
Algorithm

• a sequence of precise
instructions which led to a
solution

• Some approximately
equivalent words are recipe,
method, directions,
procedure and routine
