This specification describes the form and establishes the interpretation of programs written in the C# programming language. It describes:— The representation of C# programs;— The syntax and constraints of the C# language;— The semantic rules for interpreting C# programs;— The restrictions and limits imposed by a conforming implementation of C#.This specification does not describe— The mechanism by which C# programs are transformed for use by a data-processing system;— The mechanism by which C# applications are invoked for use by a data-processing system;— The mechanism by which input data are transformed for use by a C# application;— The mechanism by which output data are transformed after being produced by a C# application;— The size or complexity of a program and its data that will exceed the capacity of any specific data-processing system or the capacity of a particular processor;— All minimal requirements of a data-processing system that is capable of supporting a conforming implementation.
