What is the use of unsafe keyword in C#?

 

Answer:
In C# the value can be directly referenced to a variable, so there is no need of pointer.

Use of pointer sometime crashes the application. But C# supports pointer, that means we can use pointer in C#.

The use of pointer in C# is defined as a unsafe code.

So if we want to use pointer in C# the pointer must be present in the body of unsafe declaration.

But pointer does not come under garbage collection.

Example:-

unsafe
{
int a, *b;
a = 25;
b = &a;
Console.WriteLine("b= {0}",b);//returns b= 25
}
