C# is designed for Common Language Infrastructure (CLI), which consists of the executable code and runtime environment that allows use of various high-level languages on different computer platforms and architectures. The following reasons make C# a widely used professional language − It is a modern, general-purpose programming language It is object oriented. It is component oriented. It is easy to learn. It is a structured language. It produces efficient programs. It can be compiled on a variety of computer platforms. It is a part of .Net Framework. Strong Programming Features of C# Although C# constructs closely follow traditional high-level languages, C and C++ and being an object-oriented programming language. It has strong resemblance with Java, it has numerous strong programming features that make it endearing to a number of programmers worldwide.
