C# pass by value/ref?

Question

Common question but I could use an \"english\" explanation.

Is it like Java where

Cat myCat

actually is a pointer to Cat

Answer 1

If you delacred Cat as

class Cat {...}

then it is.

If you delcared Cat as

struct Cat {...}

then your variable "is" the structure itself.

This is the difference between reference types and value types in .Net.
