Is string a value type or a reference type?

Accepted 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.
