Difference between “var” and “object” in C#

I would like to know the difference between var and object.

When to use Var and when to use Object.

Pros and cons of using them.

Answer 1

var is just shorthand for “let the compiler pick the right variable type for me” (compile-time type-inference is the more exact term).

object, on the other hand, is a specific type; all other reference types derive from object, so you can assign anything to a variable of type object.
