Hello Friends,

                      In this Chapter we will discuss about Data Type in C# dot net and Difference between  Value Type and Reference Type.

Data Type:

                      In Dot net platform  our Data types are divided  into two types one is value type and anather  is Reference type.please follow  the following steps about its classifications.

Difference  between  Value Type and Reference Type:

Value Type		Reference Type
1	Basically Value  type store real data	1	But Reference type store reference to the data.
2	Value type data stores in stack memory. Ex:int i=20; The value 20 stores in stack memory location.	2	Reference type  data stores in heap memory. Ex:int [] arr ayyay=new  int[55]; This value will require memory  for 20 integer and stores in heap area.
3	Value type is faster for access.	3	Reference  is slower for access.
4	It can’t contain null value	4	It can contain null  value
5	When data store than memory allocate at compile time.	5	When data store than memory allocate at run  time.
6	Structure,enumeration  are value type.	6	Class,array,interface,deligate etc are reference type
