Structs are Value type. They are stored as a stack on
memory.
Class is reference type. They are stored as heap on memory.
Sturcts constructor must contain a parameter and cannot
have default constructor.
Class constructor may contain no parameter.
Struct cannot have instance field.
Class can have instance field.
Struct cannot inherit from a structure.
Class can inherit from a class.
Structs cannot declare a destructor.
structure :- In structure have a by default public.
In class have a by default private.
Structure cannot be inherited. But class can be
inherit.
There is no data hiding features comes with
structures. Classes do, private, protected and public.
A structure can't be abstract, a class can.
A structure is a value type, while a class is a
reference type.
A structure is contain only data member , but class
contain data member and member function.
In a Structure we can't initilse the value to the
variable but in class variable we assign the values.
Structure are value type, They are stored as a
stack on memory. where as class are reference type. They
are stored as heap on memory.
