Automatic memory management by the CLR. Process: Benefits: Prevents memory leaks and simplifies memory management.

Value types: Example: Reference types:  Store a reference (memory address) to the data on the heap. Examples include string, class, and arrays. Assigning a reference type copies the reference, not the data itself. Example:

A subset of the CTS that provides guidelines for language compilers.

The CTS defines the rules for declaring and using data types in .NET.Purpose: Ensures that different .NET languages can work together seamlessly. Key Aspects: Example: Both C# and VB.NET can use the int data type because it’s defined in the CTS.

The CLR is the heart of the .NET execution environment. Think of it as a virtual machine that manages .NET applications. Key Functions:

string is an immutable type, meaning its value cannot be changed after it is created. When you modify a string, a new string object is created. StringBuilder is a mutable type, meaning its value can be changed without creating a new object. This makes it more efficient for operations that involve frequent string modifications.
