I’m a newbie to programming, and I’m considering using C# to write a VERY simple program that simply edits a text file.
- Will it work on Macs and Linux? What will work?
- I want to know what makes a program cross-platform?

C# can be compiled for and ran on multiple platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS) by using .NET Core.
Previously, cross-platform development using C# could only be done by using Mono which is a third-party implementation however it is now recommended to use .NET Core as it is developed by Microsoft.
