I'm reading a C# book that was recommended on here recently and found this gem in the beginning.

I disagree.
Well your certainly have the right to not use the new features. How about something about why you do not like the changes to the switch statement.

Indexing != counting, no discussion there. I assume that BASIC interpreters and compilers automatically adjusted the index. especially in the days of 8 bit computers they had no memory to waste.
Have you read the original 1964 spec of BASIC?

They are not the same thing, but I still don't like them at all. I prefer code that's readable without the help of costly tools like Visual Studio or Intellisense.
Hear hear!

Now we must talk about the Oracle at Delphi. Sheesh.... :)
I'm just glad Delphi wasn't at (from) Oracle.

I use the community edition of VS 2015 at home for free and it has intellisense built it for free. Did I mention it was free? Not costly at all.

Was there a formal spec back then or has it been written afterwards as for most languages of that time?

they're called "var", in C#
No, they're called
dynamicin C#. ;P Usingvar, your variable is still strongly-typed; you're just letting the compiler work out what that type is.

Don't call Rome just yet. The Microsofties may all be absolutely selfless may have performed enough miracles, but they have to be dead to be made saints by the Pope. Personally, I have already moved on and would not want to invest any time or money in Microsoft anymore. There are far more interesting things to do than keeping up with their escapades.

Microsoft later developed the C# ("C Sharp") language as the primary language for the .NET platform, which was in many ways influenced by Java; subsequently the .NET Framework shares many ideas in common with Java. Much like Java, C# is compiled to a type of bytecode (called CIL), and runs on top of a virtual machine called the Common Language Runtime in .NET. Visual Studio 2005 was the last release to include J#.

Perhaps Delphi should be mentioned here ... [Anders Hejlsberg - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anders\_Hejlsberg) Regards,

There we go. The index values range from 0 to (n-1), as they should. Now at which point did they start with 1? Every early home computer had a BASIC interpreter in a ROM, which in most cases was a customized Microsoft BASIC. Atari developed the BASIC from scratch, and was zero based. Look here.[^] It has been some time since I used that manual, but I should still have it somewhere. :-)

Arrays start at 1 - just like when counting your fingers. C# (C, C++...) messed up, who counts anything from zero? It's unnatural, zero simply does not exist.
Sin tack the any key okay
I would tell you what the zeroth. finger is, but, I don't think you are ready, yet.

Applause ! Finally Delphi is mentioned. And, can we not give Anders, Mads, Eric L., Eric T., and others, some credit for bring geniuses who created something remarkable ?

Was happy that they finally updated the switch in C# to have be as flexible as the Visual Basic Select Case. Waited a long time for that one.
One of the "beauties" of the stock C# switch statement was that using integer case qualifiers it compiled to a mean and lean jump-table in CIL. I assume it still does; have yet to see any performance comparisons of use of the new features and other techniques for switch-a-roo. I like the new features.
