C# : Class vs Struct : Part 9

• Struct is a value type where as class is a reference type.
• Value type hold there value in memory where as reference type hold the reference to object in memory.
• Struct are stored in stack, class are stored in heap.
• When a struct is copied from other struct a new copy is created and modification in one struct does not affect the other.
• When a class is copied from other class, only a reference variable is copied, both the object point to a same variable in heap. Modification in one variable will affect the other.
• struct cannot inherit from other struct where as class can inherit from other class.

E.g. Struct

    public struct Struct1 

    {

        //your code

    }

E.g. Class

    public class Class1 

    {

        //your code

    }
