Seriously, we aren't here to do your thinking and research for you. I take it you have an interview soon. You cannot possibly cram in enough to bluff your way through based on random questions. You have been posting questions here long enough to have figured out that you need to learn the basics first. Richard has given you a great book to get started with. Beyond this, if you need to know things like the high frequency heap, then you need to learn how to use google and apply some critical thinking. Learning is your responsibility.

No. The instance (which holds the actual values) is always on the heap: only the reference to the instance is ever on the stack.
Let's think about instances for a moment.
What is an instance?
Basically, it's a specific example of something. "Car" is a generic idea - you know what a car is, it's got an engine, four wheels, that sort of thing. But a generic idea is not something you can drive to the shops in: for that you need "this car", "that car", "your car", "my car" - these are instances of the generic idea. Consider this:
What colour is a Car?
You can't answer, because a generic idea doesn't have a colour.
What colour is your car?
That's a lot easier: "your car is red", or "your car is blue" - because now you are talking about an instance instead of the generic idea.
So in terms of variables all instances of a Car are stored on the Heap, but the references to them are stored on the stack:
Car myCar = new Mercedes("Red");
Car yourCar = new Bugatti("Black"); "myCar" and "yourCar" are the variables and they are on the stack - but the actual Cars the refer to are on the heap.
And when I change cars:
myCar = new BrokenDownHeapOfJunkThatWasABMWOnce(); That only changes the reference that "myCar" held - it doesn't destroy the "old" car I used to have, it just lets it be referenced by it's new owner. If you crash your car, then I could sell you my car, to get a new one myself:
yourCar.Dispose();
yourCar = myCar;
myCar = new BrokenDownHeapOfJunkThatWasABMWOnce(); The variables are the same, but the items they reference have changed.
Make sense?

1 The OS is asked for memory to be reserved to hold the contents of the object, the object is stored at that address on the heap. As already mentioned, the variable that points to the object is on the stack.
2 Heap
3 Performance. Allocating and deallocating memory is expensive (have a for loop from 1 to 1000000 and in that loop update an int "i = i + 1", do a second loop and in that loop concat a string s = s & "x". Time how long both loops take to execute - the string loop is doing memory allocation, the int loop isn't). With the stack the memory is already allocated, you can put things on the stack and take them off "for free". Every time you put something in the heap you need to request a memory allocation, when you take things off that memory has to eventually be deallocated.
Because the stack is a known fixed size you can't go storing Word documents in it, it would run out (make a function that just calls itself, every call puts an exit reference on the stack, after a second or so you'll get a stack overflow as you will have run out of stack space).
Also things on the stack are "last on first out", they remain in sequential order at known addresses. As the stack is pre-allocated, a "pointer" is held that references the next bit of free space. As you put something on the stack the pointer goes up, you take something off it goes down. If you have, say, an int (10), a string ("ab") and an int (20) on the stack;
Stack add 0 - 10
Stack add 1 - a
Stack add 2 - b
Stack add 3 - 20
Stack add 4 - < stack pointer points here, put something else on and this is where it goes
and then wanted to change the string from "ab" to "abc"...where do you store the "c"? There is no space as your second int is on top of it so to increase the string from "ab" to "abc" would require reordering everything above it. So you can only put things on the stack that don't change in size. An int is always going to be 32 bits for example (depending on os and hardware).
5 Value types, things of known, unchangeable sizes, tend to go on the stack. "objects" of unknown sizes that can grow and shrink go on the heap. Of course value types can end up on the heap too due to things already mentioned, due to boxing, static variables etc, but reference types will never end up on the stack.
Note to everyone: Obviously many things in here are simplified for basic understanding, there's no need to be pedantic

thanks for the answer but still few lines are not very clear. can u plzz explain it more elaborately in easy way.
you said not clear "As you put something on the stack the pointer goes up, you take something off it goes down. If you have, say, an int (10), a string ("ab") and an int (20) on the stack;
Stack add 0 - 10
Stack add 1 - a

2) you said but not clear "Of course value types can end up on the heap too due to things already mentioned, due to boxing, static variables etc,"

The heap is just a big section of memory that you can allocate if you need, it's a free-for-all where objects are placed wherever there is space. A stack in a small, pre-allocated piece of memory that you use in a specific way.
Imagine a stack of plates. Each time you want to store something you place it on the top of the stack of plates. On top of the existing plates is the only place a new plate can go. To take plates off, you can only take off the top plate.
Think of this code
function A()
{
int x = 1;
Person p = new Person();
B();
int y = 2;
}
function B()
{
int x = 100;
}
When "A" is run, 1 is put on the stack for x
Stack address: value at that address
0: 1 (x)
1: 0
3: 0
4: 0
5: 0
6: 0
7: 0
8: 0
9: 0
A new "Person" is created so a memory allocation request is made and the OS gives you memory address 10,000, so your Person data is stored at memory address 10,000 on the heap. "p" is actually the number 10,000, ie the place on the heap the Person can be found, so p goes on the stack
0: 1 (x)
1: 10,000 (p)
3: 0
4: 0
5: 0
6: 0
7: 0
8: 0
9: 0
The code has to call "B", however it needs to know where to come back to after B, so the address in memory of the current line of code is stored on the stack. Let's say that is address 1234
0: 1 (x)
1: 10,000 (p)
3: 1234 (ref to code in function A)
4: 0
5: 0
6: 0
7: 0
8: 0
9: 0
Now stack slots 0, 1 and 3 belong to function "A" and we start running code in "B". "B" defines x as 100 so that goes on the stack.
0: 1 (x)
1: 10,000 (p)
3: 1234 (ref to code in function A)
4: 100 (x)
5: 0
6: 0
7: 0
8: 0
9: 0
So stack spots 0-3 belong to A and 4 belongs to B. B is done so we de-allocate everything it put on the stack
0: 1 (x)
1: 10,000 (p)
3: 1234 (ref to code in function A)
4: 0
5: 0
6: 0
7: 0
8: 0
9: 0
To work out where to go back to we read the top-most value of the stack (1234) and resume executing the code at that address. As we have read the value off the stack we also remove it
0: 1 (x)
1: 10,000 (p)
3: 0
4: 0
5: 0
6: 0
7: 0
8: 0
9: 0
This will take us back to the "int y = 2" line in A. Note that not only are we back in the code for A right where we left off, but all of A's variables are on the stack for us to access. So define y = 2
0: 1 (x)
1: 10,000 (p)
3: 2 (y)
4: 0
5: 0
6: 0
7: 0
8: 0
9: 0
A finishes so all of its variables are taken from the stack, and as "p" was a reference, the object at that reference is disposed and eventually the garbage collection will deallocate its memory, allowing address 10,000 to be freed for use by other things.
0: 0
1: 0
3: 0
4: 0
5: 0
6: 0
7: 0
8: 0
9: 0

Go back and read OriginalGriff's post agian.
Tridip Bhattacharjee wrote: a string ("ab")
A String[^] is not a value type, so it does not go on the stack. You really need to go and study some reference guides. Asking questions here is not a good way to learn the internal structure or implementation of a programming language.

ok i will try to find out right book for memory management.
just tell me i have this code
String s="Hello";
when the above line execute then what will happen? where the value "Hello" will be stored?
in stack or heap? and where the memory location for "s" will be stored?
thanks

Did you actually read the explanation that OriginalGriff posted, or the previous message that I wrote? A string is not a value type so its data will be stored on the heap. Its reference pointer s will be on the stack. If you want a simple explanation then read Charles Petzold's excellent .NET Book Zero[^].

And in response to the message you sent and then deleted: unless you actually read the book you are not likely to learn anything.

i read many write up like how data reader fetch data. here are few links
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1696128/sqldatareader-a-firehose-cursor-no-buffering?lq=1
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23467482/how-does-sqldatareader-handle-really-large-queries?lq=1
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1383920/how-datareader-works
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22554158/how-much-data-can-be-stored-in-network-buffer-when-datareader-is-used
people are saying that data reader fetch data in chunk and store in network buffer and display from there. when all data read completed from buffer then again database round trip occur. that why people say data reader is efficient for data reading purpose because it minimize the db round trip but still many things are not clear to me
suppose i issue a sql query like Select empid,Name from employee table there are 10,000 rows then what will happen. how much data sql server will send to client?
suppose network buffer could store 8kb data then sql server may send more than 8kb data or sql server know the client pc network buffer size in advance?
suppose first 100 data is stored in network buffer so when again db trip will occur for next 100 data then same query will executed so how sql server will know that that time sql server has to send data from 101 to 200 etc?
i like to know the above internal process in details regarding interaction between sql server and data reader. so please share the know if some one knows it in details.
one bit different question. how we can determine each row size in byte or kb programmatically by c#. if possible give me direction with sample code. thanks

I wouldn't trust stackoverflow for accurate details like that. Though I don't know either, and it's not something I think the average developer really needs to know about.
Bear in mind also that each ADO.net Provider may implement different strategies to improve performance.
Tridip Bhattacharjee wrote: database round trip occur
That seems untrue, particularly for a query.
Tridip Bhattacharjee wrote: how we can determine each row size in byte
Call the GetSchemaTable method of the DataReader (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.idatareader.getschematable(v=vs.110).aspx[^]), it will give you a DataTable describing the content of the data, including a ColumnSize column, sum up those values. Note: MAX-sized character columns may cause confusion.

Hi
Dears i want to design a project in c#. i need a class library in c# who read sms from gsm modem and auto respond to that sms, auto reply sms and sms sender want to apply for leave in his company. my system read sms and apply for leave to already designed database in oracle.
please guide me with example and some comand strings for sending sms

say i hard many people like started in interview face question like to find out palindrome word writing program. so is there any web site which show basic question asked for various algo during interview.
i like similar question like palindrome word or number which many people learn during programming with c and c++ for developing logic sense.
anyone can redirect me to those web site from where i can acquire many also like palindrome which people learn during programming and also asked during interview. thanks

Are you asking for questions to ask people, or for questions that you might be asked in an interview?

Sorry probably i could not explain properly. i search Google but may be could put right keyword so i am not getting a web site which help peole to learn programming by c,c++ or c# with many logical program like Fibonacci series or palindrome word or number and various kind of sorting etc.
so if anyone know about any web site from where we can see many program is there for learning purpose then please share the url. thanks

No, I'm afraid there isn't.
Interviewers can ask the candidate to do anything (within reason, it will be related to the job function in some way) so there is no "set of algorithms" that interviewers have to pick from.
It's not to check if you remember algorithms, to to find out how you think - when you don;t have Google to do it for you!
What the interviewer is looking for is to see how well you handle simple problems (and palindromes are indeed a very simple problem) to see if the way you think fits in to how his company works. Memorizing algorithms won't help you there because the chances are the task will be unrelated to any particular algorithm, but how you implement the things do you know.
So relax, be confident, and think about the task they set - rather than trying to use the thinking of others to get you a job! (Because if you rely on others to pass the interview, you won't last long once in the job - everyone can spot the "dead wood" who can't actually do the work)
You'll be fine!

Don't focus on tasks: instead learn by doing. Get a book, or a course and do the exercises - they introduce the concepts in a logical sequence, and (hopefully) mean that you understand fully what you are doing before moving on to the next subject.
Trying to find existing programs doesn't help at all in that: you don't learn as much (or as well) by "looking" as you do by "doing".

To be fair and clear that is what the interviewer thinks that they are doing.
Statistically most of the time such skill tests would work just as well if they handed the interviewee a bag of Legos and ask them to build a car.

A random array of elements is given. Your program needs to find all the sections(sequences) in the array that are in ascending order, find the sum of those sequences, then find the largest sum and print the largest sum along with the sequence of numbers. For example if the array is like
4, 5, 6, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 12, 6, 4, 2, 1, 5, 8, 9
Then ascending sequences in the given array are
· 4,5,6 with sum 15
· 1,2,3,4,12 with sum 22
· 1,5,8,9 with sum 23
So your program should print the sequence 1 5 8 9 and the sum 23, as it’s the largest sum of ascending sequences.
