Defining Struct and Record Struct Types

Explore how to define struct and record struct types in C#. Understand their benefits for memory efficiency and learn when to use structs versus classes. This lesson covers creating structs with properties, constructors, operator overloads, and introduces record structs introduced in C# 10. Gain practical experience by implementing and testing these concepts to enhance your programming skills.

We’ll delve into the realm of defining struct types in C#. These value types offer benefits like memory efficiency and improved performance. So, let’s begin our journey into the struct types and discover how they can enhance our C# programming skills.

Defining struct types

Let’s explore defining our value types:

Step 1: In the PacktLibrary project, add a file named DisplacementVector.cs.

Step 2: Modify the file, as shown in the following code, and note the following:

The type is declared using a struct instead of a class.
It has two ...
