Briefly explain the characteristics of value-type variables that are supported in the C# programming language.

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.
