The variables that are based on value types directly contain values. The characteristics of value-type variables that are supported in C# programming language are as follows:
- All value-type variables derive implicitly from the System.ValueType class
- You cannot derive any new type from a value type
- Value types have an implicit default constructor that initializes the default value of that type
- The value type consists of two main categories:
- Structs – Summarizes small groups of related variables.
- Enumerations – Consists of a set of named constants.
