Re-explain
Value Types:
- Stored directly in memory (stack for local variables)
- Hold the actual data
- Examples:
int, bool, char, struct, enum
- Assignment copies the value
- Default values are zero/false/null equivalent
Reference Types:
- Stored on the heap, variable holds a reference to the memory location
- Examples:
class, string, array, delegate
- Assignment copies the reference, not the data
- Default value is
null
- Multiple variables can reference the same object
