C# struct new StructType() vs default(StructType)

Question

Say I have a struct

public struct Foo
{
    ...
}

Is there any difference between

Foo foo = new Foo();

and <

Answer 1

No, both expressions will yield the same exact result.

Since structs cannot contain explicit parameterless constructors (i.e. you cannot define one yourself) the default constructor will give you a version of the struct with all values zero'd out. This is the same behavior that default gives you as well.
