## Difference between stack and heap in MVC

![What is the difference between stack and heap in MVC?](https://answers.mindstick.com/questionanswer/003aa1e3-9f3f-4fc7-80b7-31fb2e313422/images/1305c67c-eea5-45a7-9bf3-6ad62f89922b.gif)\
**Stack**

- Stack is responsible for **static memory allocation** and it **allocates the memory at compile time.**
- It also **follows the rules of LIFO (Last in First Out).**
- In the stack, size limitation is varied according to the operating system.
- We can easily access the variables that are allocated on the stack and it **takes less time.**

\
**Heap**

- Heap is used for **dynamic memory allocation** and it allocates the memory at run time.
- In a heap, **memory is allocated randomly.**
- There is no limitation of size in a heap.
- In heap you can **allocate or de-allocate the block** any times as per user requirement.
- Accessing of the object is so difficult in comparison of stack and takes much more time
