Class and struct are both user-defined data types, but have some major differences.

Struct

The struct is a value type in C# and it inherits from System.Value Type.
Struct is usually used for smaller amounts of data.
Struct can’t be inherited from other types.
A structure can't be abstract.
No need to create an object with a new keyword.
Do not have permission to create any default constructor.

Class

The class is a reference type in C# and it inherits from the System.Object Type.
Classes are usually used for large amounts of data.
Classes can be inherited from other classes.
A class can be an abstract type.
We can create a default constructor.
