- A struct is a value type, while a class is a reference type.
- When we instantiate a class, memory will be allocated on the heap. When struct gets initiated, it gets memory on the stack.
- Classes can have explicit parameter less constructors. But structs cannot have this.
- Classes support inheritance. But there is no inheritance for structs. A struct cannot inherit from another struct or class, and it cannot be the base of a class. Like classes, structures can implement interfaces.
- We can assign null variable to class. But we cannot assign null to a struct variable, since structs are value type.
- We can declare a destructor in class but can not in struct.
