C-Sharp

The previous post on this blog makes another worthless comparison, this time based on lines of code: https://withinboredom.info/blog/2022/03/16/my-favorite-langu... > Like, look at this Merge Sort in C# [1] (130 lines) and then look at it in PHP (31 lines) [2]. You can’t beat that kind of productivity, not to mention in PHP, you can even mix data types (like ints and floats) where in the C# version, it’d be much more difficult. [1] https://github.com/TheAlgorithms/C-Sharp/blob/master/Algorit... [2] https://www.w3resource.com/php-exercises/searching-and-sorti... The C# version is the first Google result for "c# merge sort". But a later result is from w3resource.com, which where the PHP code came from. That C# code is only 55 lines and could easily be shorter by replacing loops with standard library calls: https://www.w3resource.com/csharp-

There's a much more sensible C# merge sort implementation in the same repo as the oddly-over-the-top one linked in the article, which is very very close to the PHP one: https://github.com/TheAlgorithms/C-Sharp/blob/master/Algorit...
