Originally posted by louie View PostGentile, I missed you post, I apologise. I suppose the C# compiler is mature enough to have optimized these differences out. On a general note having knowledge of a few different languages so you can drop down to C for these cases when performance is key is a great advantage. Having many tools in the box as they say.Comment

Originally posted by Gentile View PostThank you. I've no doubt that these skills can still be used in very discrete applications (say, somewhere that you're constrained to use really old hardware with limited memory for some reason - maybe in a legacy piece of military hardware where the cost of replacing the infrastructure would be more than the cost of getting new kit, for example). However, as this thread is specifically about C# development, I think it's extremely unlikely the interviewer had a practical reason for asking the question, or that C# would be used for that type of legacy support. I could be wrong, but that's my impression given the way C# is actually used in practice.Comment

If nothing else, this aside is a pretty good example of the endless and inappropriately-applied minutiae you invariably get bogged down with if you make the mistake of engaging the services of developer that would actually consider using the Shift operator in C# production code.Comment
