Make a reference to another string in C#

Question

As far as I know a string in C# is a reference type.

So in the following code \'a\' should be equal to \"Hi\", but it still keeps its value which is \"Hello\". Why?<

Answer 1

The line b = "Hi"; changes which string b references. a still references "Hello".

string a = "Hello";  // Set a to reference the string "Hello"
string b = a;        // Set b to reference the same string as a
b = "Hi";            // Set b to reference the string "Hi"
