What is C#:
It is a general - purpose Object Oriented programing language developed by Microsoft in year 2000 as a part of .NET initiative. It contains some features like, Strong typing, generics, object-orientation, and component orientation styling. C# is based on the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) standard. It is a popular programing languages for beginners to learn.

 

Features of C#:

  • Derived from C++ and Java.
  • Part of Microsoft Visual Studio.
  • No pointers.
  • No operators like “::” or “->”
  • Varying ranges of primitive types
  • Memory management and garbage collection are automatic and do not need explicit code.
  • Built according to the current trend
  • Powerful, scalable, robust
  • Any component can be turned into a web service with built-in support
  • Object-oriented
  • Supports OOP concepts like inheritance, encapsulation, polymorphism, interfaces, etc.
  • Introduces structures enabling primitive types to become objects
  • Does not allow us unsafe casts
  • Reference types are initialized to null; value types are initialized to zero by the compiler automatically.
  • Arrays are bound checked and zero-based indexed.
  • Includes native support for the COM and windows based applications
  • Components from VB NET can directly be used in C#

What is Java?

Java is a class-based, Object-Oriented, multiparadigm language developed by Sun Microsystems and designed by James Gosling in 1995.

It is a platform Independent language as it was developed according to the WORA concept (Write Once Run Anywhere). A java application is compiled into bytecode that can run on any of his JVM (Java Virtual Machine), regardless of the underlying operating system or architecture. Applications can be published for web development, Android - Based software, and other devices.

 

Features of JAVA:

  • simply:
    It's easy to learn and has a simple syntax.
  • Object-orientation:
    It follows OOP concepts such as inheritance, abstraction, polymorphism, and encapsulation.
  • Strong:
    Java provides memory management and mishandled exceptions through automatic garbage collector and exception handling.
  • Platform independent:
    Follow WORA functionality by leveraging JRE (Java Runtime Environment) to run your applications on any platform.
  • Safe:
    Java's robust features help in developing virus- and tamper-free systems.
  • Multithread:
    Java multithreading designs programs that handle multiple tasks simultaneously. Therefore, it uses the same memory and other resources to run multiple threads at the same time.
  • Architecture neutral:
    Compilers produce bytecode that is independent of computer architecture.
  • High performance:
    When it comes to performance of C# compared to Java, Java wins. Achieve high performance using a just-in-time compiler.
  • distribution:
    Programs can be designed to run on computer networks.

 

  1. Choose C# if:
    I want to develop a program on the .NET platform.
    They are interested in modern quality of life features such as garbage collection.
    Software needs to run quickly and efficiently.
    Develop mobile apps and games.
  2. Choose Java if:
    We want to benefit from an active and extensive code base and community. Portability and interoperability are needed over speed and efficiency.
    You need to build a concurrent web-based application, or a desktop or server-based application.
