Do you know what a stack is? Do you know what interning is? Do you know you can write: string s = null;?

String is a reference type that often "behaves" like a value type.

To quote you directly: "If you dont know anything - dont confuse others!!!"

Answer / djfox7200x

Strings are immutable.Hence they behave like a value type
when they are actually reference type;

eg. string objA="cat";
//cat is an immutable string in memory and objA points to
it.
string b=a; //reference is copied to b;

a="dog"; new immutable object created and a points to it;

//b is still cat since its refernce has not changed
