Value Type
> Holds data in its own memory location
> Stored in Stack. Remember like this Value - Stack
> inbuilt data types such as int, byte, are value type. Except (string)
> When you want data to get accessed faster use this. however its scope is limited

Reference Type
> Pointer to other memory location
> Stored on heap. Remember like this Reference - heap
> User defined are ref. Ex. classes, arrays, string(even though inbuilt)
> When you want to share data, use this.
