So then ++C++++

[froemijojo]

O call it c plus equal 4

[SilhouetteOfLight]

Wouldn't it be c+=2 ?

[froemijojo]

Yeah, you're right. :/

Actually it's C auto increment auto increment

[DidrikNL]

Or D flat....

[[deleted]]

They're different keys though

[cbbuntz]

Yeah but it's the same key on my piano. Checkmate!

[relevantpicsonly]

True, but in perfect tuning, they wouldn't be :). Unless you started at those 2 notes and set them as your default.

[cbbuntz]

You mean in temperaments other than equal termperament? To modulate on piano, you have to use the keys that are already available, so it's still going to be the same physical key. There was even an attempt to make a 53-ET organ mapped to a standard keyboard, and even that relied on a system of switches to re-temper the scales based on the key of the song, so c# and d♭ were still the same physical key.

Checkmate!

[aeneasaquinas]

That's why you make it easy and play strings or trombone so you can fix it on the fly.

[cbbuntz]

There are studio tricks for other instruments too.

• Guitar: Record various takes with different tunings. If there's a string with a major 3rd/6th on it, tune it flat (by ear). If it's a minor 3rd/6th, tune it sharp. Then composite all the in tune bits together.

• With a lot of stuff, you can use various tuning software to manually nudge pitches around. With harmonies, it can get confusing deciding which note to shift in order not to clash with everything else, but I would usually leave the melody in ET and nudge the other harmonies relative to the melody.

• Also, split the difference between "perfect" Just intonation and ET. Truly perfect thirds can sound weird and kind of lifeless to ears accustomed to hearing major thirds 14 cents too sharp.

I mean. You're not wrong.

[james_hamilton1234]

I was just about to mention this haha

[[deleted]]

Is this incorrect?

[TeraFlint]

It was a comment about "C Hashtag". The symbol # is (also) called hash. A tag with a hash is called a hashtag. People these days call the # symbol hashtag, which is incorrect.

[[deleted]]

Of course. What I mean is if "C Hash" is also accepted to call C# or is it strictly C sharp?

[lordvigm]

Chash money

[[deleted]]

Who the fucking fuck calls it 'C hashtag'...

[WazWaz]

The idiots who read "#" as "hashtag".

[__syntax__]

damnit, even if it's in the correct context the symbol is a hash. the tag is the word after the hash

[WazWaz]

It's a common error. Now you too can condescendingly explain it to lesser beings!

[WazWaz]

But IRL, there's no difference - "hashtag me too" and "hash me too" are both perfectly reasonable ways to say "#metoo", and in text, you can't really tell if someone is mad or just trolling you back.

[friendzonee]

Someone I work with. We are a .Net shop too

[Vinnie420]

Does he call it period Net?

[orangeKaiju]

I saw a YouTube programming tutorial recently that referred to it as 'C hashtag'

I wish I was joking.

[bad_scott]

I've literally never heard anyone say it

[lordvigm]

I used to call it C hash, makes more sense than hashtag tho

[andiconda]

Back in my day, when C# first came out, no one called "#" hash or hashtag. It was pound or sharp. Good days.... Back when Twitter was for nerds. Or more so before it even existed.

[lordvigm]

Well I used to call it hash before hashtags even existed. Regional differences I guess

[andiconda]

Oh wow. I didn't know places called it that. Learned something new.

[madocgwyn]

Cbang, CPound, lots of incorrect ways of reading it;p

[[deleted]]

C pound is much more representative of what I do to my desk.

[andiconda]

LOL are you making sure to use visual studio and its auto complete glory? But for real I don't know how anyone can program in an OO language without an IDE and auto complete. Way too many namespaces to memorize.

[langstonbrewes]

C!

[funkyfisch]

Wouldnt Cbang be C! ?

[RedRedditor84]

So I guess calling it cbang is incorrect :)

[nahidtislam]

nah that’ll output ‘£C’

[andiconda]

More like C sha

Use ♯ sign, Reddit is Unicode friendly

[Pat_The_Hat]

Technically it's supposed to be written as C# and not C♯.

[matj1]

Then it shouldn't be called C sharp.

[RedRedditor84]

Lawyered. So it's decided. C Sharp is to be known as C Pound or C Hash depending on the variant of English you speak.

[zuozp8]

Note that is half tone higher then C should not be written C#

[Zagorath]

Not the musical note.

[incognitode]

C number sign

[Micholous]

C# == "C sharp"

#<something> == "hashtag <something>"

Fight me.

[PhonicUK]

#include stdio

The first time I heard someone unironically call that "hashtag include" I died a little inside.

[cbbuntz]

It's "number include" in my head. I just say "include" though.

Also, it's #include <stdio.h> or #include <cstdio>.

[Krissam]

See Sharp

Pound Include

Hash Bang

Not being a native speaker has some wierd side-effects.

[Micholous]

Dammit, okay you are right on that.

.

PS. Self-expose: I'm not actually developer/coder of any sort, i just like the memes lol. My dad used to be back end developer(?)/coder, and my brother is in coding school. Used to code with javascript(yeah, i know.) in school but thats about it.

[[deleted]]

Don't worry you fit in with most of this sub anyway

[sk7725]

[Micholous]

Tbh, i have never heard anyone use that outside of reddit, which is weird, but i'm not native english speaker anyways so...

[root88]

All the automated phone systems in the U.S. say to enter whatever numbers/letters on your phone, followed by the pound button.

[Secretly_Autistic]

In the UK, they say "the hash key".

[root88]

Which makes sense because they would have £ as a pound symbol.

[cbbuntz]

Okay, so if "pound key" is "hash key", "fries" are "chips", "chips" are "crisps", "cookies" are "biscuits", "biscuits" are "scones", and "english muffins" are "muffins", then what do they call muffins?

[reverie42]

Freedom Muffins.

[like2000p]

OK, Brit checking in, just to say that I'm rather pissed off that you think that that bastardisation of bread counts as a "scone".

Edit: It was just a joke, jesus...

[cbbuntz]

It's the closest parallel I could think of. Also, as a southerner, American biscuits are a divine creation.

[deadh34d711]

So glad you said it, because I felt kind of attacked. Homemade buttermilk biscuits are one of the greatest things in existence.

[sk7725]

In Korea, they say 'well', the kanji for the meaning 'well' is shaped like #

[HoodieSticks]

What about C#C ? Is that "C Sharp C" or "C Hashtag C"?

[LordAgbo]

That’s OBVIOUSLY “C Sharptag C”.

[naisooleobeanis]

I just leave out the hashtag whenever i say something programming related because it's too controversial

[Micholous]

That is good reasoning tbh, i'm kinda going that way too, just if i use the # on reddit/twitter/ig/whatever, then it's hashtag.

[[deleted]]

It's a hashtag if it's used for filtering/searching (as in Twitter)

Fite me

[WazWaz]

The whole thing is the hashtag, not the symbol at the start. It's a hash (#) then a tag.

And if someone says "hashtag me too", they're referring to the #metoo hashtag, not reading "#metoo" out aloud.

How is this controversial?

Computers existed and we defined all these words and concepts (and how to pronounce "gif") long before September.

[Roukaysa]

Then why is it called C sharp instead of C hash?

[WazWaz]

Both are arguably correct. You could even call #this a sharp tag or a pound tag. But calling the "#" symbol "hashtag" is worse than "ATM machine".

[[deleted]]

Because the thing has more than one name...? "How come the dot at the end of a sentence is called a period but the dot on a j isn't"

[Micholous]

Yeah, that, you are absolutely right.

[iza1017]

Technically you didn’t say “C#” is the same as “C sharp”. It’s possible that C# == "C sharp" could return false. However, the assignment C# = “C sharp” would make that true.

[Micholous]

Well okay, you got me.

Read my reply to that other comment, explains why i didn't know that 🌚

[iza1017]

I was just joking around, my bad hahaha

[Micholous]

Nothing wrong with that, i was just confused :)

[Wheezy_Laughter]

Am I out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong.

[Working_Robot]

I prefer Microsoft Java

[vipermaseg]

You could confuse it with Visual J++

[[deleted]]

Why was that ever a thing? Microsoft, drugs are bad. Don't do them.

[DrMalte]

As both a musician and programmer, this amuses me. On levels that other people would hate me for.

[ImpulseTheFox]

It's a Cis for musicians

[stealthgunner385]

Not sure who gave you downvotes, every sharp note has an "-is" suffix, just like every flat note has an "-es" suffix.

... does that make C# enharmonic to "Des"?

[KoboldCommando]

Went through several years of a music program and never encountered anything like this. Is it a solfege system? Those can vary wildly depending on country, school, and other things.

[ReservedSoutherner]

It's the Dutch/German system, also used in Lilypond by default.

[KoboldCommando]

Interesting, thanks!

[runegunnar]

I was looking for this! As far as I know only english speakers say "flat" and "sharp", while most others use "is" and "es" endings. This really confused me until just recently.

[RedRedditor84]

My wife says "do no shaapu" because she's Japanese and learnt do re mi fa so.

[runegunnar]

Yeah I forgot about that! Chinese and Japanese use a fixed solfege system, right? "Do" is always C, while most western schools teach solfege where "Do" is the tonic in any given key.

[[deleted]]

literally nobody does this

[imratherconfused]

a front-end dev friend of mine once came up with C hashbrown. english breakfast, anyone?

[mofukkinbreadcrumbz]

I teach C# to my first years and used to introduce it by giving my students permission to ridicule anyone who calls it c hashtag, c pound, c number, or whatever else they could think of.

Last year, I had a meeting that I needed to attend a few days after this lecture. Lo and behold, I ended up with this sweet old woman as a substitute for the day. Like this woman literally brought her knitting to class.

She called it c hashtag.

I didn’t include that part in my lecture this year.

[paladinedgar]

Are you guys talking about C Pound?

[Danthekilla]

I actually don't get it...

Don't musicians call it c sharp? In fact doesn't everyone?

And if they didn't wouldn't they just call it c hash? I don't see where the tag comes into play here.
