Is C and C# the same?

[JoeyCentral]

I mean, I think it is, but is it?

[InsertFunnyUserName]

Uh, no.

C# is half a step higher than C.

That's why it has a different name than C.

[CaveyMc-fat]

One is C, the other is C-sharp

C# is a higher note than C

Isn't C one of those .net framework Microsoft languages?

You know the # symbol? That means SHARP. That means half a step higher.

I lol`d at the epic amount of fails when I saw this.

No, that's C# (I believe).
C, C++, and C# are all different programming languages.

So I guess Microsoft made the compilers? Am I right?

[ThadsPark]

B# and C are the same thing, is that what you were thinking of?

B to C is only a HALF step. Look at that piano keyboard kindly posted above.

yeah that's why B# is the same note as C, either you know nothing about music or didn't read my first post correctly.

No, anybody can make a compiler. Think of it this way.

In the world you have different languages, like Spanish, German, English, Chinese, (programming languages). They each have their own set of rules, how to say things properly, words to use, etc.. But in the end all they are is just different ways of communicating (per say).

What the compiler does is take a language and translate it into machine code (Like translating Spanish to English) because computers only understand machine code (English people only speak English, so they need to have a translator to translate Spanish to English).

That's the best way I can put it.. here's what wikipedia has to say on compilers:
A compiler is a computer program (or set of programs) that transforms source code written in a computer language (the source language) into another computer language (the target language, often having a binary form known as object code).

So really you could make your own programming language, and make a compiler for it (if you know how). You would setup all the rules (syntax) on how your programming language would work and make the compiler. That's basically how programing languages are made.

BTW, C# was created by Microsoft (I believe).

...Which is why B# = C. To sharp a note means to go up 1 half step or 1 semitone, so B + 1 step, or B#, = C

[Metal-Sonic-v2]

Damn, for a while I thought that I was the only one who thought of the programming language before the musical pitch.

[Michaelas10]

C# was created by Microsoft like a decade after C++ to combine some of the free-form programming in C++ and the pre-written templates in Visual Basic. Although in my opinion it epically fails.

[Conjecture]

Wait, I lost track. Are we talking about Microsoft or keyboard notes?
