Answer / gp_bellamkonda

In a piano, there will be white keys, and black keys, right!
The White Keys are named as A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
The black keys after White keys are called as sharp(#) keys.

And remember, C# means, the right side of C => the thing
which is AFTER C....
That means C# is a language more advanced than C.
(C++ is already chosen, thatsy C# is given as a name.)

coined C# looked to be interested in music than as
pronouncing it as hash.
