Structures
are like classes, where as we can create objects that behave like the built –in
types. They resemble most like classes even though it’s found lot of
differences between them.
Primitive
difference between them is
- Structures are value based where as classes are reference types
- Structures do not possess Deconstruct characteristics
- Inheritance is strictly not supported in structures where as in classes we do.
- Structures do not support OOPS concept

struct Fraction

}
}
class Program
{

{

f.numerator = 5;
f.denominator = 10;
f.print();
Fraction f2 = f;
f2.print();
//modify

f2.numerator = 1;
f.print();

}
}
