According to Salesforce documentation when creating a custom Object we need to add __c at the end of the string. Does it make any difference if when creating a custom Object we don't add the __c?

    Please edit your question to add more details (and add relevant tags). Right now, it's hard to determine exactly what you're trying to do and it's very likely that you're taking this documentation out of its relevant context (or misinterpreting it).

When you create a custom object in the UI, you don't type in the __c; it will be added automatically. When you create a custom object in an API, you must include the __c in the fullName attribute. Failing to include it, or trying to include any other suffix (e.g. __haha) will result in a deployment error. Note that other suffixes are referenced for related custom objects, like Object__Share is an object's sharing table, and Object__Tag for an object's tags. This is why you can't specify the suffix or omit it.

I dont think when we Create custom we need to add __c to the Object, After we create the Object i.e after saving, SF automatically appends __c to that Object

When creating a custom Object you just need to give the Name of the Object

for Example

If you add name as School after saving that Object SF will append __c To it

If you add School__c while creating the Object SF will still Append __c so it would look like School_c__c

Its not up to us to add __c you save a custom record by Its name and SF Adds __c
