They contain chloroplasts both in the mesophyll and budle sheath cells.
C3 and C4 plants are named after the number of carbon molecules in the first products of their carbon fixation cycles. C3 plants produce 3-phosphoglycerate and C4 plants produce Oxaloacetate.

Corn, or maize, is a C4 plant. A c4 plant relates to a group of plants that feature 4-carbon molecules present after the first product of carbon fixation.

Yes, Sugarcane is a C4 plant and the largest harvester of solar energy on Earth. C4 plants have the ability to overcome severe drought, high temperature and floods too. It is advantage for commercial crops like sugarcane as it can withstand any climatic conditions.
Since C4 plants need for CO2 is more than C3 plants, doubling the concentration of CO2 will have more positive effect on C4 plants. If CO2 is a limiting factor for photosynthesis, both C3 & C4 plants will have positive effect.
C4 Plants
Around 50ppm for C3 plants and around 5ppm for C4 plants.
They are unique by being unique.
C4 plants that use the C4 pathway require more ATP and NADPH
