C# interview questions and answers on structs

Will the following code compile?
using System;
public class Example
{
static void Main()
{
TestStruct T = new TestStruct();
Console.WriteLine(T.i);
}
}
public struct TestStruct
{
public int i=10;
//Error: cannot have instance field initializers in structs
}
No, a compile time error will be generated stating "within a struct declaration, fields cannot be initialized unless they are declared as const or static"

No, a struct cannot inherit from another struct or class, and it cannot be the base of a class.

Can a struct inherit from an interface in C#?

Are structs value types or reference types?
Structs are value types.

What is the base type from which all structs inherit directly?
