C# and F#

languages
 History of the languages

C# F#
● Created in 2000 by Microsoft ● Started as strongly typed functional
programming in the 1970s
● Developed by Microsoft within its .NET
framework  ● F# started to run on .NET in 2002.
● Development team was led by "Anders ● Designed by Don Syme, a principal
Hejlsberg" in 2002. researcher at Microsoft Research
Cambridge
 F# Advantages

Convenience Correctness
executes type inference, compiler will During the time capturing mismatch
show the error and suggest user to type at compile time removes an entire
supply a type of annotation class errors during run time

Completeness Functional
F# being a part of .NET gives Assists functional programming
users access to all third force build treating functions as values
 C# Advantages

Ease of use Fast

functionality supports developing a
professional dynamic website, Windows
desktop applications, as well as games
on Unity Game Engine
Being an open source under the .NET
makes c# run independently of
Microsoft which the language
specifications, compilers, and related
tools are open source projects

Efficient secure
allows programmers to write a safe efficient code and does not permit any
type of conversions which might bring data loss and issues.
 Disadvantages

C#
The code will need to recompiled
even when having a single change
which can be a hassle for users
because deploying a whole
application might take some time
which can lead the user to forget
testing and get some bugs
F#
A disappointing drawback of F#
crushing .NET legacy and doesn't
support functors which is a
problem for some users
comparing with Ocaml.
 Loops

C# F#
 Names (integer)

C# F#

int i = 0; let i = 0 or
let i = 0l
 Functions

C# F#

int i = 0; let i = 0 or
let i = 0l
 Functions

C# F#

int i = 0; let i = 0 or
let i = 0l
