Question

Priya Linge · Answer

Hi 1.String is a refrence type. 2. Its not value type as value-types need a known size for the stack etc. As a reference-type the size of the reference is known in advance even if the size of the string isn't. Hope this will help you. Thanks.

Hi Faisal A String is a reference type even though it has most of the characteristics of a value type .Strings a can be huge and need to be stored on the heap. Value types are stored on the stack. Thanks Pravin.
