title: Arrays, heap and stack and value types
body: <pre><code>int[] myIntegers;
  myIntegers = new int[100];
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In the above code, is new int[100] generating the array on the heap? From what I've read on CLR via c#, the answer is yes. But what I can't understand, is what happens to the actual int's inside the array. As they are value types, I'd guess they'd have to be boxed, as I can, for example, pass myIntegers to other parts of the program and it'd clutter up the stack if they were left on it all the time. Or am I wrong? I'd guess they'd just be boxed and would live on the heap for as long the array existed.</p>
