@3:56 - Correct me if I am wrong but shouldn't your arrows now point to p2 place in the heap? Line 22, is saying p1 should now point to the place on the heap that p2 is pointing. Everything you said would apply if the code on line 22 was p2 = p1; Again please correct me if I am wrong - I'm not trying to troll I'm trying to better understand and make sure others do too. Thanks for the video, Mark

Yes, you're absolutely right Craig. That's a mistake in my slide, my bad :-(. You've understood it perfectly. My apologies for the confusion.

[@craig_the_dev]

@@Mark-D-Inman Oh no worries at all Mark! Your video made the small mistake much easier to see! Really this video is still top tier for an explanation. Still an awesome video! :)

Super helpful as a long-time engineer who needs to brush back up on C# again. I'm finding it's getting harder as I get older to keep up with stuff, maybe I gotta pick up coffee again 😅

[@Mark-D-Inman]

Glad to hear it :-) You should definitely pick up coffee again.
