Value Type and reference type

venkata chaitanya asked:

Open original thread
I Searched in many websites for solution,but i am not satisfied with that answers.

Please clarify my doubt.


Why integer is valutype and why string is Reference type.

I know theoretically,int is stored in stack and string is store in heap.but i did not have clarity.

For example:

int i=10;
int j=i;
i=12;
console.writeline(i);
console.writeline(j);



O/P;
i=12;j=10;

similarly

string str1="Hello";
string str2=str1;
 str1="World";
            System.Console.WriteLine(str1);
            System.Console.WriteLine(str2);


O/p:
str1=World;
str2=Hello;


Both integer and string are same right...

class AddPrg
   {
       public String Name
       {
           get;
           set;
       }

   }

C#
class CPrograms
   {


       static void Main()
       {

 AddPrg obg = new AddPrg();
             obg.Name = "Hello";
             AddPrg obg1 = obg;
             obg1.Name = "World";
             System.Console.WriteLine(obg1.Name);
             System.Console.WriteLine(obg.Name);


}}


O/P is World,World both are same.so that class is reference type.



Hope you understand my question.Please clarify my doubt.. Thanks in Advance...

When answering a question please:
  1. Read the question carefully.
  2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
