C#

C# (pronounced C-sharp) is a modern, object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft.
It was introduced in 2000 as part of the .NET framework and is widely used for building desktop applications, web applications, games, and more.

Key Features

• Object-Oriented: Supports encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism.
• Type-Safe: Strong type-checking reduces common programming errors.
• Rich Standard Library: Provides built-in functionality for networking, file I/O, and more.
• Cross-Platform: With .NET Core and .NET 6+, C# can run on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
• Integrated with Visual Studio: Offers powerful tools for development and debugging.

Common Uses

• Windows Applications (WinForms, WPF, UWP)
• Web Development (ASP.NET Core)
• Game Development (Unity Engine uses C# as its primary scripting language)
• Cloud and Enterprise Applications

Example Code

This is actually a program in C# that prints "Hello, World!":

```csharp using System;

class Program { static void Main() { Console.WriteLine(“Hello, World!”); } }
