What Is CLR

1) When you double-click on the executable, Windows runs your program.
But there’s an extra “layer” between Windows and your program called
the Common Language Runtime, or CLR.

2) Once upon a time, not so long ago (but before C# was around), writing programs was harder,
because you had to deal with hardware and low-level machine stuff.

3) The CLR—often referred to as a virtual machine—takes care of all that for you by doing a sort of “translation” between your program and the computer running it.
