Java VS C# (C-Sharp) ! Which one is the WINNER ?!

Hello Everybody!
Its very long time no posting here.
This time I'll try to explain about differences between Mr.Java & Mr.C-Sharp
Ok ! Lets check it out!

A. Java Primitive Types
There are 4 datatype on Java Programming Language.
Here it is...

1. Logical --- boolean
 Logical values are represented using the boolean type,which takes one of two values : true or false.
Example :
boolean result = true;
This example is to declare a variable which named by "result" as boolean datatype, and give it true value.

2. Textual --- char
 This type is representative by single unicode.
You must enclose a char literal in single quotes(' ').
Example :
'a'  // The letter a
'\t'  // A tab

3. Integral --- byte, short, int, and long
 It using decimal, octal, and hexadecimal.
 byte = 8 bits
 short = 16 bits
 int = 32 bits
 long = 64 bits
Example :
2 // decimal for integer 2
077 // 0 indicates an octal value
0xBAAC // 0x indicates a hexadecimal value

4. Floating Points --- float and double
 "double" is the datatype default.
 E or e  ==> add exponential value
 F or f ==> float
 D or d ==> double
Example :
3.14
6.02E23 ==> 23 after E has a positive value, equivalent with 6.02E+23


B. C# Primitive Types

 Because C# represents all primitive data types as objects, it is possible to call an object method on a primitive data type.

Example :

        static void Main()

{
    int i = 10;
    object o = i;
    System.Console.WriteLine(o.ToString());
}

>> Type of Data Type

- Value Types
   They directly content data. The example are char, int, and float, which can be used for storing alphabets, integers, and floating point numbers.
- Reference Type
   They contain a reference to the variables which are stored in memory. The example is string datatype.


Ok! Thats all a little explaination about Java & C# data type.
From that, we can take some differences between Java and C#
Here it is.

Differences between Java and C# :
- To compare string values in Java,
developers need to call the equals method on a string type
as the == operator compares reference types by default.
In C#, developers can use the == or != operators to compare string values directly.
- Java's boolean is called bool in C#.
- C# supports unsigned in addition to the signed integer types.
Java does not feature unsigned integer types.

C# so POPULAR?? Why?

Its because :

It really is a great platform for programming. There are numerous improvements over Java, such as:

1. Value Types
2. Properties
3. Delegates and Events
4. Global Assembly Cache
5. Runtime Generic Support

It's constantly evolving, both in terms of library support and new language features. 

Example:

1. LINQ (it will change the way you iterate a collection!)
2. Lambda Expressions
3. Closure
