Uses Of C#

Let’s see what the tech guru says:

1. Microsoft Docs: C# works on.Net framework is a type-safe and elegant O-O level PL. Excellent for secure and robust application need. The language empowers its developer to create an application on

• Windows
• XML
• Client-server
• Database
• Wide variety of tool availability

Techopedia: An OOPS language for Web development and networking related needs.

Wikipedia: A general-purpose and multi-paradigm PL which facilitates the developers in the creation of functional, class-oriented, typing and several other related applications.

Drawing the kind attention of the readers I would like to say that I hope you have some understanding of the terms used in the above section.

C# Edge Over Others

Reports say that out of the top ten PL countdowns, C# stands at 5^th position (as of the year 2018). Let’s find out why the uses of C# has so huge user base, why it’s preferred among various development methodologies and its acceptance.

1. Origin

A more genuine object-oriented language allowing its users to create a modular application with reusable codes. This functional behavior is missing in C++. It does not create a mesh in the system and removes them with an efficient inbuilt capability to erase all the garbage present. MEMORY BACKUP (in blocks to specify its edge upon other languages) holds a vital advantage into C# favor. Its influence (on the developer community*across the world) is because of a rich class of libraries and functions available, combining is successful in making history.

2. Class

The main advantage for uses of C# is that it runs on CLR, this makes it easier to integrate, standardized. .NET Framework class libraries are extensive and support specific features set much better than Java. uses of C# has various language constructs which again scores over Java. Language construct means function pointer and operator. The latest edition in applications of C# technology has enabled features like extension methods, lambda, and a query expression.

3. Not Just Microsoft

Just Microsoft? Not any more……ECMA and MONO project is evidence that says in the favor of applications of C#. ECMA has been a standard publish. MONO a cross-platform application development choice for developers. Refer MONO PROJECT for more details.

4. Type-safety

let’s witness one of the root differences. Memory manipulation, which means the allocation and release of memory for a particular application currently working on. This will be helpful and time saving for developers who have to write codes for performing memory manipulation task activities. C# does this automatically for you; this behavior can be helpful in a memory leak and memory access. So, back to the discussion where we left for Type-safety, an unsafe keyword can be used to mark a block of code. This will easily bypass the Framework type type-safety checking. This behavior of C# makes a clear and precise edge over VB.NET

5. Learning

Comparing to other Programming languages (PL) learning C # would definitely be a snap. Easy to learn to compare to others. One thing is sure any PL would take sufficient time to learn and equally sufficient time to master but the point of concern is the language complexity to learn. uses of C# is syntactically similar to Java. Have a look at the below-mentioned scenario

In Java and then in C#

Code:

Public class Hello {
public static void main (String args[]) {
System.out.println ("Hello World");
}
}
{
static void Main()
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Hello World");
}
}

6. Language Integrated Querry (LINQ)

This was introduced to C# in the year 2007. The intention was to help the growing developer’s community in a query the data from various sources. No need to worry about the syntax (specific to databases). The LINQ provider (a component of LINQ) helps to convert the query to a format that is easily understandable and readable. Eg: this example will clear some confusion and support uses of C# wide applicability – if Mr. A (developer) wants to query a particular data from SQL database, the LINQ provider will easily convert the LINQ query to T SQL helping the database to understand.

7. Keywords that other languages lack

1. The as a keyword in C# attempts to safe-cast an object to a type, and if it can’t it returns null.
2. Yield – Yield and return yield are used in C# to perform custom and stateful iterations without an explicit extra class and without a need to create any temporary collection.
3. Var – Var is an implicit type. It is generally determined by the compiler and is functionally equivalent. Var agrees for anonymous types which are most typically used in LINQ queries.
4. Checked – In C#, we may use the checked keyword to explicitly enable overflow checking for integral-type expressions. If the resulting value of some expression is outside the range of the destination type, we can use checked to force the runtime to throw an OverflowException. This is helpful because while constant expressions have overflow checking at compile time by default, non-constant expressions do not.

Conclusion

Final Thoughts are result driven, as the readers will expect some concluding lines. The prolonged discussion on various factors regarding the wide user base of C# leads us to a point of conclusion. This is a never-ending discussion that always goes on in the developer’s community. We have so far witnessed the C# wide platform range. How it has moved from just being a Microsoft PL language tag. It’s a preference position in the world ranking. Why prefer uses of C# over other languages. It holds the advantages for code length and code clarity. This brings our decision which gives us an understanding of the right language and platform to choose for the underlying product development. No language is good or bad it all depends upon the exact need and purpose. There are countless things to consider before the development actually starts, FACEBOOK (very common) are stuck with PHP (written in PHP) they have no options to choose from. Even if they wanted to move or switch to ASP.NET they simply cannot.
