How to know difference between value type parameter and reference type parameter in C#

Sometimes a user search with these kind of questions :-

what are the basics differences between value type and reference type in C#
reference type vs value type in C#
value type and reference type in C#

Solution :-

Definition : Value types are those which hold both data and memory on the same location. Reference types are those which has a pointer which points to the memory location. Something like this...

using System;

namespace demo
{
    class Program
    {
        public static void valueType(int number)
        {
            number++; // or number=number+1
        }

        public static void referenceType(ref int number)
        {
            number++; // or number=number+1
        }

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            int number;
            Console.Write("Enter any number : ");
            number = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine()); // read user input number

            Console.WriteLine("\nValue Type");
            Console.Write("\nPrevious Value : {0}", number);
            Program.valueType(number); // call static method of Program class
            Console.Write("\nCurrent Value : {0}", number);
            Console.WriteLine("\nReference Type");
            Console.Write("\nPrevious Value : {0}", number);
            Program.referenceType(ref number); // call static method of Program class
            Console.Write("\nCurrent Value : {0}", number);
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

That’s it!!…..Happy Programming...
