vb Or c# For algorithm

[Benjamin Z]

hello, I'm new in this forum.. I have a question.

I am in the imagine cup, in algorithm and I pass to round 2... And I need know what lenguaje have more velocity for create a algorithm.
c# or VB ?

Thanks.

I don't understand what you're trying to say. Did you use an online translator? If so, I suggest you find a programming forum in your native language.

I don't use a online translator.
My question is simple.

I compete in the imagine cup.

I need create a algorithm for the round 2.


What Lenguaje have more velocity in order to create a algorithm?


* I'm sorry for my english.

If you just want a comparison between VB.NET and C#: use whichever one you like better. They are almost exactly the same.

The original poster is asking - given a certain algorithm implemented in both VB and C# which will run the fastest.

In answer to the question, I would say that because both compile to the same intermediate language, which is then interpreted (mostly) on the fly, that there would probably be little difference between them.

If you are aiming for ultimate speed then I would suggest using C, or perhaps even Machine Language.

Assembly is faster (if the programmer is good). Forth (or similar postfix language) is probably the fastest (close to 50% faster than assembly in some cases), but programming in postfix is, at very best, extremely difficult for most people (and worse than impossible for some). Between VB.Net and C#, it depends on the algorithm. Most will be close, though, as has been said.
