'''What follows is a basic look at the C# programming language.<br>'''

C# is a strongly typed language. That means that the variable type matters. You cannot assign a variable of one type to another of a different type without performing a type cast. C# is compiled into IL code that is then compiled just in time by the .NET framework. The .NET framework handles things like program execution and memory management. As a result C# is considered "managed code." C# is case sensitive so Var1 is different from var1.



==Basic Syntax==
===White Space and Comments===
C# uses the ; to terminate statements. As a result statements can have whitespace formatting characters(tabs, line feeds, carriage returns, etc.).

Example:
 //This is a comment and will not execute<br>
 CallSomeFunction(param1, param2, param3);

is the same as:<br>

 //This is a comment and will not execute<br>
 CallSomefunction(param1,
 :param2,
 :param3);



===Variable Declaration===
//value types can be initialized upon instantiation<br>
[scope] Type name = value;

//reference types can be initialized up instantiation<br>
[scope] Type name = new Type(contructor params);

//or not<br>
[scope] Type name = null;



Value Type Example:

 private int myInt = 0;

Reference Type Example:
 private string myNewString = "fred";
 string myNewString = null;


===Operators===
Assignment Operator: =<br>
Equality Operator: ==<br>
OR Operator: ||<br>
AND Operator: &&<br>
Addition: +<br>
Subtraction: -<br>
Multiplication: *<br>
Division: /<br>
Add to existing: +=<br>
Subtract from existing: -=<br>
