C is up to 4 plusses, arranged two above and two below. This is now a
"sharp" character in music terms, and is shown as "C#". Next will be CH
(hyper) and C$ (C expensive) and C% (works mostly). Maybe.

Damn. Guess not. Anyway, here it is:
<(3+sin(R*3))*cos(R),(3+sin(R*3))*sin(R),sin(6*R)> R is an angle measure
in radians.

C++: based on C, and originally purely a superset of C. It now has a few
differences, but is pretty much C with objects, templates, and a few
other extensions...you can still use the C standard library, for
example. The ++ part comes from the C "increment" operator. C++ is a
standardized language.
Objective-C: Purely a superset of C, basically a Smalltalk-like object
system and runtime that goes on top of C (or C++). Not standardized, but
has been in use for many years.
C#: some Java-clone Microsoft came up with. Similar to C in the same way
Java is similar to C. As far as I can tell, it only exists for Microsoft
.NET and as a way to kill Java. Apparently in the process of being
standardized, and is now outside of Microsoft's control, but really
isn't a C any more than Java is. I'm comparing it with Java a lot...that
would be because nearly everything I've seen about it compares it with
Java. This is the one I know the least about, anyone know of some
websites with good technical info on it and how it compares to other
languages?
