What is the Difference between value and reference type?
Answer Posted / rita ghosal
REFERENCE TYPE=In contrast to value types, the value of a reference types is allocated on the heap. Another name for a reference type, that you might be more familiar with, is an object. Reference types stores the reference to the data, unlike value types, that stores the value. To demonstrate the difference between a reference type and a value type, let's look
VALUE TYPE=The value of value types are stored on the managed stack, and can be used directly. This means that the value is stored, and not a reference to the value. This also means that each value type has its own copy of the data. Reference Types on the other hand has a reference to the data, and several variables can reference the same data.
