Data Types

In C#, there are two types of data:
•    Value types: Variables that store data values on the stack.
•    Reference types: Variables that store memory address of the data stored on the heap.
There is also a third type of data, the pointer type, which is used in writing unsafe code. Although the C# language does not support pointers directly, it is possible for C++ programmers to write unsafe blocks of code and use pointers of code and use pointers inside these blocks.
