Do you know why sharp is added to the end of programming languages? Like c sharp and f sharp?

Actually, I don't even know if it is pronounced c sharp or f sharp. I just assumed it was the same as music.

a sharp symbol is ++ stacked on top of ++ So C ++ ++ becomes C#

Phonetically, It is C sharp because it sounds cooler than C hash or C pound.

Also because in music, C# is a half-note higher than C.
