A small question...

I was just wondering,


I already know that C++ and C# are different programming languages,

but is there a difference in "C" programming and "C#" programming?

as in, is "C = C#"? I'm under the impression, (by my surroundings) that
"C programming" is just short for "C# programming".

and I'd like a Programmer to tell me if that's true or not...

thanks. #w{=P}

C and C# are completely different. I'm not too experienced with C but I heard it's working with registers directly and all, while C# is very Java-like.
My blog. I could post stuff now and then

No, they are different, however, many people (myself included) tend to lump C, C++, and C# into one category calling it "C programming". It's mostly those of us who don't use the C languages who do this.
C# is an Object-Oriented language that uses the .NET framework, while C not.
And C++ is like an Object-Oriented version of C. You cannot pass codes between C and C#, or C++ to C#.


Yes they're right but it's not hard to learn a different "C language" if you're common with one another.

Actually you can with some DLL magic, but that's more of an advanced topic as you obviously need a fair understanding in both C/C++ and C#.

C++ is mostly C with some new features. C# is it's own language, but has writing conventions similar to C#. You can start off learning either one. If you want to make simple GUI applications targeted toward PC users and you want to learn it quickly, then start with C#. If you want to take your work seriously and you're willing to put in the extra effort, start with C++.

I'm making the post in this thread because, I feel making a new thread is sorta pointless...

I have learned quite a decent amount of C++ Programming, and all. But, I don't know quite what to do. What type of programs can be created using C++? For example, was "Xkas" made by C++? Was "Lunar Magic" made using C++? Would I need Java? Thanks.

Yes, xkas, Lunar Magic, and many other of our tools, are written in C++.
There are some exceptions (most notably BTSD and Slogger, which are written in C#), but to my knowledge, C++ is the most common.

The notable C# programmers around here are smkdan, Ersanio, SWR, Iceguy, and myself. I want to say Smallhacker and Edit1754, but I'm not completely sure that's what they do.

Any program... It's a fully functional language.

Yes, they use C#.
