that's why it doesn't make sense lots of times, @Xander haha. The guys didn't have a good name for the laguage, but looking through a window they saw an oak tree, that's where they got the name from.. C++, The "++" was because there was this attribution on C already, meaning to add plus 1 to itself. following the logic, C# would be: C ++ ++ and following this logic too, these four "+" signs on this way, looks like a "#".
