C Sharp (C#) - Programming Language

C#

 It is a multi-paradigm programming language encompassing strong typing, imperative, declarative, functional, generic, object-oriented (class-based), and component-oriented programming disciplines. It was developed by Microsoft within its .NET initiative and later approved as a standard by Ecma (ECMA-334) and ISO (ISO/IEC 23270:2006). C# is one of the programming languages designed for the Common Language Infrastructure.

 Its development team is led by Anders HejlsbergThe most recent version is C# 6.0 which was released in 2015

 Anders Hejlsberg.

ECMA - It is commonly used for client-side scripting on the World Wide Web.

The ECMA standard lists - 

The C# language is intended to be a simple, modern, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language.

The language, and implementations there of, should provide support for software engineering principles such as strong type checking, array bounds checking, detection of attempts to use uninitialized variables, and automatic garbage collection. Software robustness, durability, and programmer productivity are important.

The language is intended for use in developing software components suitable for deployment in distributed environments.

Portability is very important for source code and programmers, especially those already familiar with C and C++.

Support for internationalization is very important.

C# is intended to be suitable for writing applications for both hosted and embedded systems, ranging from the very large that use sophisticated operating systems, down to the very small having dedicated functions.

Although C# applications are intended to be economical with regard to memory and processing power requirements, the language was not intended to compete directly on performance and size with C or assembly language.

Example 1.0

using System;

class Program
{
    static void Main(String[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!");
    }
}

Output

Hello, world!
