Differences between a Structure and Class

-
1. Clas s is Reference types and Structure is Value type.   2. Clas s supports an Inheritance where as Structure not.   3.

When we instantiate a class, memory will be allocated on the heap and when Structure gets initiated it gets memory on the stack. 5. Classes can have explicit parameter less constructors. But Structure doesn't have this. 6. Classes can be garbage collector because garbage collector works on heap memory . structures can not be garbage collector so no memory management.
