Key points

C# is object-oriented and static type, so the data type is determined when declared.
The code is compiled into IL, and then Common Language Runtime (CLR) translates it into machine code as the program runs (JIT).
CLR handles garbage collection so programmers don't have to manually release memory.
The Base Class Library (BCL) provides thousands of ready-to-use classes for files, networks, collections, and text.
C# is widely used for web, desktop, Unity games, and cloud services.
