Just out of curiosity which code are you referring to? I don't see any code anywhere on the post!

Suman Pal · Answer

These two statements have different effect memory-wise since they are reference types. The first statement just creates a reference or a pointer if you will to an instance of type Employee. This essentially means the statement tells the compiler e is going to point (refer) to an Employee object but right now is pointing to nothing (null) . The interesting part is the reference itself that is e is stored on the stack statically. So here you create just the reference .
