How to take input in C# online

myCompiler supports standard input (stdin) for C# programs. Use C#'s standard input functions to read user input. Enter your input data in the stdin panel before running your program.

This works for both single-line and multi-line input. You can read strings and convert to numbers using the language's built-in I/O functions.

Try it yourself
main.cs stdin supported
using System;

class Program {
    static void Main() {
        string name = Console.ReadLine();
        int age = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

        Console.WriteLine($"Hello {name}!");
        Console.WriteLine($"You'll be {age + 1} next year.");
    }
}
stdin
Alice
25
Output
Hello Alice!
You'll be 26 next year.

What is C#?

C# (C-Sharp) is a modern, object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft as part of the .NET platform. Designed by Anders Hejlsberg and released in 2000, C# was created to combine the raw power of C++ with the simplicity and safety of Visual Basic. It has evolved into one of the most feature-rich languages available, with each version bringing significant improvements.

C# runs on .NET, a cross-platform runtime that supports Windows, macOS, and Linux. Modern C# (versions 9–12) features records, pattern matching, nullable reference types, top-level programs, and primary constructors, making it concise and expressive while maintaining strong typing. Unity, the world's most popular game engine, uses C# as its primary scripting language.

What is C# used for?

C# is used for Windows desktop applications with WPF and WinForms, web applications and APIs with ASP.NET Core and Blazor, game development with Unity (mobile, console, VR/AR), cross-platform mobile apps with .NET MAUI, enterprise backend services, and cloud applications on Azure. Microsoft's extensive tooling ecosystem (Visual Studio, Azure DevOps) makes it a natural fit for enterprise software development.

C# for beginners

C# is an excellent language for beginners who want to learn object-oriented programming in a structured way. Its syntax is clear and consistent, the .NET runtime provides strong error messages, and Visual Studio (free Community edition) offers world-class tooling. Many game developers start with C# through Unity, which provides immediate visual feedback. Use myCompiler's online C# compiler to learn C# fundamentals, classes, interfaces, LINQ, and async/await, without installing .NET locally.

C# vs other languages

Compared to Java, C# has more modern language features (records, pattern matching, nullable references) and better Windows integration, while Java has broader cross-platform enterprise adoption and the Android ecosystem. Compared to Python, C# is faster, strictly typed, and better for large-scale applications, while Python is more concise for scripting and data science. Compared to F#, C# is more imperative and mainstream, while F# offers a more functional programming style on the same .NET platform.

Why use an online C# compiler?

An online C# compiler, also called a C# playground or .NET sandbox, lets you compile and run C# code directly in your browser without installing Visual Studio or .NET. This is ideal for learning C# syntax and .NET APIs, practicing object-oriented patterns, experimenting with LINQ queries, and testing algorithms for coding interviews and academic coursework.

myCompiler's online C# IDE runs the .NET runtime and supports modern C# features including records, nullable types, async/await, LINQ, and the .NET base class library. Write multi-file programs, provide stdin input, and save and share your code via URL, completely free.

Why is C# so popular?

C# has grown from a Windows-only language to a versatile cross-platform powerhouse. Its Unity game engine integration has brought millions of game developers to the language. ASP.NET Core's performance (consistently topping web framework benchmarks) has made C# a serious choice for high-performance web services. Combined with Microsoft's investment in Blazor (C# in the browser via WebAssembly) and .NET MAUI for mobile, C# covers an remarkably broad range of platforms.

C# career opportunities

C# developers are in demand for software engineer, .NET developer, game developer, full-stack developer, and cloud engineer roles. Microsoft's enterprise dominance means C# jobs are plentiful in large corporations and the Microsoft partner ecosystem. Unity game developer is a growing specialization, and ASP.NET Core's performance has driven C# adoption in high-throughput backend services.
