String is not value type, but we still use it like it’s value type. So, is string s; compiled to something like string s = new String(..);?

When you define
string s;you only define a reference, which currently points to nothing at all. As string is a reference type, the compiler will not generatestring s = new String(..);. You may understand it asstring s = null;will be the compilation result.For value types, such as int, the case is different. For example, when you define
int i;, it will compile toint i = 0;where 0 is the default value.
