I've never even HEARD of C#! Haven't been living under a rock exactly - or have I? I just started learning C++. Do I need to switch?

Unknown

Do not swich from C++ to C#! You should learn C++. Its a great launguage. C++ is powerful, portible, and userfirendly. Stick with it and you will be rewarded!

exactly.. just keep ur eyes open on c# and be ready when the times come!

but i have to disagree

c++ is not powerful! its low level (read pointers) everything else u do that is not pointer-based for example array indexing would be as slow as any other language.

portable? .. for shell scripts maybe. what can u possibly write these days without a gui and/or the need to interact with the net?

userfriendly.. can u say templates? how about those 10K error messages?

Does C# use pointers?

Unknown

yes, u can use pointers in c#:

int x = 10;

System.Console.WriteLine( "Before = {0}", x );

// use pointers
fixed( int* p = &x )
{
*p = 11;
}

System.Console.WriteLine( "After = {0}", x );

u will get
10
11

however, if u use code like the above, ur program is "untrusted" would only run depending on security settings or a digital signature.

apply "i think" to all the above!

Not at all. C++ does no array bounds checking, which is in just about every other language, making array indexing fast. C++ tends to do very little checking, which makes it fast.

: userfriendly.. can u say templates?

Which in my opinion is the single biggest omission from C#. I've always been a great believer in 'let the compiler catch the error'; if I accidentally put a String in a collection of Integers, I won't find out about it until I get a runtime error reading from the collection... which might be some considerable time later.
