Do value types get Garbage collected?

Question

I know that reference type will be garbage collected. I wanted to know whether value types will also be garbage collected from the stack?

Answer 1

The common language runtime (CLR) allocates memory for objects in two places: the stack and the heap.

Value types are stored on the stack along with references to reference type content stored on the heap. The point of the garbage collector is to deallocate memory assigned to the reference type content on the heap when the reference is popped from the stack.

A value type that is not the content of a reference type is not stored on the heap so it is not cleaned up by the garbage collector.
