Java vs C# performance benchmark

C++ is considered a native language because it compiles directly into machine code that can be understood by the underlying system. C# must first compile into Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) before the just-in-time (JIT) compiler generates machine code. For this reason, C++ is typically faster than C# .

C# is typically better to create simpler Windows software or backend web development . Overall, C++ is a more complex language with a steeper learning curve that offers increased performance, whereas C# is easier to learn and more widely used, which makes it great for beginners.

Total Run times: C#: 289ms, C++ 152ms (roughly 90% faster )26 Eyl 2008
