A variable can hold one of two types of values: primitive values and reference values. | |
Primitive values are data that are stored on the stack. | |
Primitive value is stored directly in the location that the variable accesses. | |
Reference values are objects that are stored in the heap. | |
Reference value stored in the variable location is a pointer to a location in memory where the object is stored. | |
Primitive types inlcude Undefined, Null, Boolean, Number, or String. |
