C# (pronounced C sharp) is a general-purpose, multi-paradigm programming language encompassing strong typing, lexically scoped, imperative, declarative, functional, generic, object-oriented (class-based), and component-oriented programming disciplines. 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.

General Features of C#
The following reasons make C# a widely used professional language:

• It is a modern, general-purpose programming language.
• It is object oriented.
• It is a component-oriented language, which is a technique of developing software applications by combining pre-existing and new components, much the same way automobiles are built from other components.
• It can be compiled on a variety of computer platforms.
• It is a part of .NET Framework.

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. Following is the list of few important features of C#:

Boolean conditions, Automatic garbage collection, Standard library, Assembly versioning, Properties and events, Delegates and events management,

Easy-to-use generics, Indexers, Conditional compilation, Simple multithreading, LINQ and Lambda expressions, and Integration with Windows.
