The C# Language

The unified C# Language Specification covers all the features of the C# language through version 3.0.

C# provides a large set of operators, which are symbols that specify which operations to perform in an expression. C# predefines the usual arithmetic and logical operators, as well as a variety of others. In addition, many operators can be overloaded by the user, thus changing their meaning when applied to a user-defined type.

The C# tutorials provide an overview of the basics of the language and identify important language features. Each tutorial includes one or more sample programs. The tutorials discuss the sample code plus provide additional background information. They also link to the corresponding sample abstract topics, where you can download and run the sample programs.
