What is the differece between C, C++, Visual C++, C# ?

Question

I need to know what is the difference between them .

Answer 1

C is the original language, C++ is "C oriented on object programming" (to make it short), Visual C++ is pure C++ but it eases creating visual applications and C# is Microsoft's version of Sun's Java programming language.

Answer 2

C is an old programming language that stands as the foundation for much systems programming, both in the old days, as well as currently. C is somewhat archaic though, and there was a need for it to become more object oriented, and thus, C++ was developed. C++ extended the C language, and provided many useful tools to the programmer. Microsoft came along and developed Visual C++, which is basically an IDE which allows you to program in C++, but also provides you with a GUI to be able to easily manage your programming and add features to your code. Finally, C# is part of the .NET generation of languages, which are compiled into an intermediate language. This language has similarities to both C++ and Java. One of the benefits of the .NET platform is that you can mix/match code, as it all compiles to the intermediate language.

Answer 3

There is quite a diffrence, but to try to explaine it to you and others there simply would not be enough room here as well as most likely no one would read it all. So, I would have wasted my time unless a few were really intrested in it.

Answer 4

There is no basic difference between these languages. The higher the version you go, more facilities you get and less hard work to do.

Answer 5

The little symbols after the C.
