Java and C# Comparison
This is a quick reference guide to highlight some key syntactical differences between Java and C#. 
This is not a complete overview of either language. Hope you find this useful! 
Also see VB.NET and C# Comparison.

Java Program Structure C#
package hello;

public class HelloWorld {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      String name = "Java";

// See if an argument was passed from the command line
      if (args.length == 1)
         name = args[0];

System.out.println("Hello, " + name + "!");
    }
}

using System;

namespace Hello {
   public class HelloWorld {
      public static void Main(string[] args) {
         string name = "C#";

// See if an argument was passed from the command line
         if (args.Length == 1)
            name = args[0];

Console.WriteLine("Hello, " + name + "!");
      }
   }
}

Java Data Types C#

Primitive Types
boolean
byte
char
short, int, long
float, double

Reference Types
Object   (superclass of all other classes)
String
arrays, classes, interfaces

Conversions

// int to String 
int x = 123; 
String y = Integer.toString(x);  // y is "123"

// String to int
y = "456"; 
x = Integer.parseInt(y);   // x is 456

// double to int
double z = 3.5; 
x = (int) z;   // x is 3  (truncates decimal)

Value Types
bool
byte, sbyte
char
short, ushort, int, uint, long, ulong
float, double, decimal
structures, enumerations

Reference Types
object    (superclass of all other classes)
string
arrays, classes, interfaces, delegates

Convertions

// int to string 
int x = 123; 
String y = x.ToString();  // y is "123"

// string to int
y = "456"; 
x = int.Parse(y);   // or x = Convert.ToInt32(y);

// double to int
double z = 3.5; 
x = (int) z;   // x is 3  (truncates decimal)

Java Constants C#
// May be initialized in a constructor 
final double PI = 3.14;
const double PI = 3.14;

// Can be set to a const or a variable. May be initialized in a constructor. 
readonly int MAX_HEIGHT = 9;

Java Enumerations C#

enum Action {Start, Stop, Rewind, Forward};

// Special type of class 
enum Status {
  Flunk(50), Pass(70), Excel(90);
  private final int value;
  Status(int value) { this.value = value; }
  public int value() { return value; } 
};

Action a = Action.Stop;
if (a != Action.Start)
  System.out.println(a);               // Prints "Stop"

Status s = Status.Pass;
System.out.println(s.value());      // Prints "70"

enum Action {Start, Stop, Rewind, Forward};

enum Status {Flunk = 50, Pass = 70, Excel = 90};

No equivalent.

Action a = Action.Stop;
if (a != Action.Start)
  Console.WriteLine(a);             // Prints "Stop"

Status s = Status.Pass;
Console.WriteLine((int) s);       // Prints "70"

Java Operators C#
