DIFFERENCE
While C is the foundation language, C++ is its upgraded version and C# is its modern version. Here's an elaboration:-
C is the older programming language, which is best described as the Hands-on language. Being a C programmer, you have to tell the program to do everything. The strength is that the language lets you do almost anything. Although the language does not support object oriented code, hence there are no classes.
C++ is the extention language of C where '++' refers to the increment. The language allows highly controlled object oriented code. This is once again a very hands on language which goes in further details.
C# is the modern format of C which supports full object oriented code resembling the style of C/C++ code. The language is much close to JAVA. This latest version of C is good for developing web applications.
