This question would be better off on another site such as http://superuser.com/

C is the lowest level programming language of them all but isn't OO, C++ is like an optimised version of C but is slightly higher level and is an OO language, C# is a high level language and also OO. C and C++ have a lot in common and can do the same sort of things, but C# doesn't share much in common despite the name and is a lot easier to learn, but slower and less powerful.

C and C++ are commonly used for writing whole operating systems, games, drivers etc... whereas C# is mainly used for smaller non-commercial applications because it's run time interpreted from byte-code to machine code rather than compiled.

C isn't the lowest, Assembly is. While it isn't technically object-oriented, it does have structs that you can use to emulate object-oriented structure.

C# is in absolutely no way related to C or C++. Microsoft just wanted a name that would sound familiar, so they came up with C# :lol:

I obviously meant that C is the lowest level out of the three.
