Value Type

A value type consist of two main categories:
Structs, Enumerations

Structs fall into these categories:
Numeric types: (Integer, decimal), bool, user defined structs.

Assigning one value type variable to another copies the contained value.

Reference Type

A reference type an instance of a class or array.

Copying one reference type to another copies it's location in memory.

Class

A class is a software representation of an object, providing properties and behaviours of the object.

For example a class a ball has radius as a property, and bounce as a behaviour.

These properties and behaviours contain visibility with regards to other classes in the system.  These include

• Private – only visible to its self
• Protected – visible to classes that inherit it
• Public – visible to all classes

Object

An object is an instantiation of a class.

Following the ball example, we can make a ball, called myBall, constructed from the Ball class. This is accomplished by calling the constructor method (behaviour) of the class, which allocates memory to store the object and performs any coded start-up functionality.

Interface

An interface contains only the signatures of methods and properties.

A class that implements the interface must implement the members of the interface.

Repository

Generically refers to a central place where data is stored and maintained.
