YES

Memory Management

Garbage Collection

C# is a modern, general-purpose programming language developed by Microsoft as part of its .NET initiative. It features static typing, null safety, and garbage collection. C# is primarily used on the .NET Framework for Windows application development but has grown to support cross-platform needs via .NET Core.

Benchmarks

This benchmark tests how fast a programming language can perform mathematical computations without any I/O or memory allocation. We are using the Leibniz formula to approximate the value of PI.

OS: LinuxCPU: Intel Core Ultra 5 325Last Updated: 2026-10-14

Language	Time How long does it take to approximate PI? (lower is better)	Memory How much memory (RAM) does the program use? (lower is better)	Build Time Fetching dependencies + compiling, excluding SDK setup (lower is better)
C# (.NET v10.0)	1.16 s	34.8 MB	4.49 s
C# (.NET v8.0)	1.61 s	32.5 MB	5.98 s
