# Objects

Let's create two instances of a Car class which has two properties: manufacturer and year.

This is the Car class:

public class Car
{
    public string Manufacturer { get; set; }
    public int Year { get; set; }
}

Now, we can create two instances of this class:

var porsche = new Car
{
    Manufacturer = "Porsche",
    Year = 2015
};

var ferrari = new Car
{
    Manufacturer = "Ferrari",
    Year = 2017
};

These two instances are pointing to a location in memory where the values are stored.

If I do something like this: porsche = ferrari, then, both the porsche and the ferrari variables point to the same location in memory (we have two references to the first object).

Comparison

objects - instances - references

# Garbage collector

The previous reference which ferrari pointed to is now destroyed by the Garbage Collector (the memory is freed up).
