Difference between String and string in C#

String is an alias for System.String class and instead of writing System.String one can use String which is a shorthand for System.String class and is defined in the .NET base class library. The size of the String object in memory is 2GB and this is an immutable object, we can not modify the characters in a string once declared, but we can delete it entirely

Syntax:

String variable = "my string";

Example:

C#

// C# program to illustrate String
using System;

class GFG{

public static void Main()
{

    // Declare String variable
    String b = "Welcome to GeeksforGeeks";

    // Display the result
    Console.WriteLine(a);
}
}

Output:

Geeks

A string is a sequence of Unicode characters from U+0000 to U+FFFF. Or we can say that a string represents the text. It is a keyword and it is immutable which means we can not modify the characters in a string once declared, but we can delete it entirely. We can create a string variable  using the following syntax: 

Syntax:

string variable = "my string";

Example:

C#

// C# program to illustrate string
using System;

class GFG{

public static void Main()
{

    // Declare string variable
    string a = "GeeksforGeeks";

    // Display the result
    Console.WriteLine(a);
}
}

Output:

GeeksforGeeks
