Welcome to your interview for the Software Engineer role at Guggenheim Partners.

The question is on your right: Value vs Reference and Boxing. Take a moment with it first.

Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen. You have three graded attempts to score 7/10 or better.

Only Submit answer is graded - discussion is free practice.

Problem

What are the differences between value types and reference types, and how does boxing/unboxing impact performance?
