Abstract
The struct keyword in C# is used to create value types. A struct is similar to a class in that it represents a structure with mainly field and method members. However, a struct is a value type, whereas a class is a reference type. Therefore, a struct variable directly stores the data of the struct, while a class variable only stores a reference to an object allocated in the memory.
