Programming Language Research

a.   Define the language-What is it? who uses it? what is used for?
C# is an advanced shoot off of C++,  Java and several other Object Oriented Languages. It is and a tool for a general use by programmers that is capable of creating application for anything from games to operating systems.

b.    Who developed the language?
Microsoft developed the first version of C# in 2000 because Sun Microsystems wouldn’t allow Microsoft to make changes to Java.

c.   Is the language typically used on micro, mini, or mainframe computers?
I suspect C# is typically used on mainframe computer, mini and micro computers. It was designed for Microsoft’s .NET Framework which is vaguely described as a software framework, or a platform for designing and running web applications. Because of this C# is compatible on many different computers fro optimal user.

d.   Share an online tutorial for us to better understand how to write code in this programming language.

e.   Show us what the language looks like.

public class GenericList<T>

{

    void Add(T input) { }

}

class TestGenericList

{

    private class ExampleClass { }

    static void Main()

    {

        // Declare a list of type int.

        GenericList<int> list1 = new GenericList<int>();

        // Declare a list of type string.

        GenericList<string> list2 = new GenericList<string>();

        // Declare a list of type ExampleClass.

        GenericList<ExampleClass> list3 = new GenericList<ExampleClass>();

    }
