Converting String to Int in C#

String is the reference type in C# and int is the value type.(What is Ref and Value type )

So, The way of maintain the memory location are quite different for both of them and to converting the value to refrence is called boxing in C#.

If you see the below program;

static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            int i = 123;

            string str = "123";

            if (str.Equals(i))

                Console.WriteLine("Success");

            else

                Console.WriteLine("fails");

        }
