C++ or C#

C++ or C#

• ormistons

  You can use C# but i want to share my experience regarding language performance differences.

  Once i had to built a very complex application which contain a module to do actuarian calculations so i made benchmark to analyze language differences .I run those benchmarks for Visual C++,Borland C++,Java,VisualBasic,and C#

  According to the results i got Visual C++ as the best , c++ as 2nd ,C# as 3rd and java on 4th position.

  So i obviously selected VC++.

  But one thing you must keep in mind that c++ is truly object oriented while c# like java is not full object oriented as it doest'nt support multiple inheritence for types

  Thanks.

  multi inheritence is confusion by the way,

  that depends on what you want to do, actualy to write code in C++ will take long time but it will be faster

  C# will save lots of time for you but its slower

  so for games all recomend C++ , but for bussiness application they recomend C#

  hope this helps

  C# targets only the .NET framework. C++ also targets other platforms like Win32.

  If you want to develop using C# you will need to use .NET and probably managed DirectX to develop a game. It is not a bad choice and will get you where you want.

  C++ provides all the options of C# but also will let you use unmanaged directx and it might have a performance difference as it does not do what .NET does for you, that includes keeping track of unreferenced objects. In C++ that would be a memory leak but in .NET it is taken care of by the framework.

  For most development you are most productive in a managed language as C# but if you must have more control you should use an unmanaged language like C++.

  A cool thing is that Visual C++ lets you mix managed C++ with unmanaged code.
