Differences between a Structure and Class
1. Class is Reference types and Structure is Value type.
2. Class supports an Inheritance where as Structure not.
3. Classes are usually used for large amounts of data, whereas Structure are usually used for smaller amount of data.
4. 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.
