## C++ 

`C++` is a programming language that encapsulates **high and low-level** language features. So, it is seen as an **intermediate** level language. Earlier it was called **"C with classes"** as it had all the properties of the C language.

## C#

`C#`, like C++, is an **object-oriented** programming language developed by Microsoft that runs on **.Net** Framework. It features strong typing, imperative, declarative, **object-oriented** (class-based), and **component-oriented** programming.



C++ is a **low level** and platform-neutral programming language.





C++ is light weight making it **faster** and compiles down to **machine code.** Which makes it a better solution for applications where **performance is important.**



C# is comparatively **slower** than C++ but C# can be picked up for a standard word processing application where **performance** is probably **not** the primary goal.



In C++, you need to **manage memory manually.**





C# runs **memory management automatically.**


`C++` is used for apps that work directly with **hardware** or need better performance than other languages can offer. 



If your application is a simple **web or desktop** application, most developers will urge you to work with `C#` if it’s their language of choice. `C#` is used for **modern app** development.


# Basic Example

The following code tabs show how to print **"Hello World"** in both languages.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() 
{
  cout << "Hello World";
  return 0;
}

class HelloWorld
{
    static void Main()
    {
        System.Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
    }
}

C++ vs. C# 

C++ offers speed for performance-critical apps and requires manual memory management, while C# is slower, manages memory automatically, and is suited for modern apps.
