All types are derived from the Object class, but the value
types aren’t allocated on the heap. Value type variables actually contain
their values. so how then can these types be stored in arrays and used in
methods that expect reference variables ? Can somebody please explain me how these value types are stored on heap when they are part of an array?
Boxing and Unboxing. Also see Here for info pertaining to arrays specifically (part way down). Note this is for object arrays, a valuetype array (e.g.
int[]) doesn’t have any (un)boxing.
