C++ vs C#: Key Differences Explained
C++ Programming language
A successor of the c programming language that has introduced the concept of classes and objects. It encapsulates features of c and high-level language hence it can be treated as an intermediate-level language. When it was created it was thought of as a C that has classes because of its similarities with C.
C# Programming Language
C# (also known as C sharp) is a general-purpose programming language that was developed by Microsoft to run on .net framework for developing applications for its operating system. It is an object-oriented programming language with features like object-oriented, statically typed, decorative, multiparadigm programming language.
Both languages are quite popular and some similarities in them. These are some points of difference −
| Feature | C++ | C# |
|---|---|---|
| Compilation | The code of c++ will compile and converted to machine level code. | The code of c# will be compiled and converted to intermediate code (CLR). |
| Platform | C++ programming language can be compiled and used in all platforms as it works on hardware. | C# programming language is windows specific and is rarely used in platforms other than windows |
| Memory management | C++ programming language does not support automatic memory management. So, the programmer has to do it manually. i.e. delete the created object to free up memory space | In the c# programming language, an automatic memory management system is there. The garbage collector keeps track of memory management. |
| Pointers | In c++ the use of pointers is valid anywhere in the program. | In C#, the use of pointers is valid only in the unsafe mode of the programming language. |
| Easy of working | In c++, the programmer needs good understanding of concepts and it has complex features. | C# is easy to work on programming language die to its well-defined and easy understandable hierarchy of classes. |
| Type of language | C++ is a low level, object-oriented programming language. | C# is a high-level object-oriented programming language. |
| C++ has primitive data types due to which it is not a pure object-oriented programming language. | C# is a pure object-oriented programming language. | |
| Application | C++ has found its usage in console applications. | C# can be used to develop mobile, windows. |
