Structs in C#

Structs in C# are value types. On this page we show two concrete programming examples of structs.

We show the structs Point and Card

/user/normark/oop-csharp-1/sources/c-sharp/playing-card/playing-card-struct/PlayingCard.csStruct Card.


/user/normark/oop-csharp-1/sources/c-sharp/playing-card/playing-card-struct/Client.csA client of struct Card.


Structs are typically used for aggregation and encapsulation of a few values, which we want to treat as a value itself, and for which we wish to apply value semantics

In the System namespace, the types DateTime and TimeSpan are programmed as structs
