Structs are copied on assignment
suggest changeSinse structs are value types all the data is copied on assignment, and any modification to the new copy does not change the data for the original copy. The code snippet below shows that p1
is copied to p2
and changes made on p1
does not affect p2
instance.
var p1 = new Point {
x = 1,
y = 2
};
Console.WriteLine($"{p1.x} {p1.y}"); // 1 2
var p2 = p1;
Console.WriteLine($"{p2.x} {p2.y}"); // Same output: 1 2
p1.x = 3;
Console.WriteLine($"{p1.x} {p1.y}"); // 3 2
Console.WriteLine($"{p2.x} {p2.y}"); // p2 remain the same: 1 2
Found a mistake? Have a question or improvement idea?
