JavaScript Masterclass - Zero to Job-Ready with Hands-On Projects - Primitive Versus Reference Types - I / 043

The video tutorial explains the differences between primitive and reference types in programming, focusing on how they are stored in memory. Primitive types are stored in the stack, where each variable has its own memory block. Reference types, such as objects, are stored in the heap, where multiple variables can point to the same memory block. The tutorial includes code examples to illustrate these concepts and highlights potential issues with reference dependencies.
