== Memory organization == In Java, C#, and VB .NET, the constructor creates reference type objects in a special memory structure called the "[[heap (data structure)|heap]]". Value types (such as int, double, etc.) are created in a sequential structure called the "[[stack (abstract data type)|stack]]". VB .NET and C# also allow the use of the ''new'' operator to create value type objects, but these value type objects are created on the stack regardless of whether the operator is used or not. In C++, objects are created on the stack when the constructor is invoked without the new operator, and created on the heap when the constructor is invoked with the new operator. Stack objects are deleted implicitly when they go out of scope, while heap objects must be deleted implicitly by a destructor or explicitly by using the ''delete'' operator.
