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?

[–] orivar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

Okay, thanks
