How can we say that, A reference is stored on stack. . ?
I think, Reference has no memory. It just an another name of variable.
Can anyone tell me. . ?

The reference is stored in a stack while the object is allocated in the heap. Instances or references of a value type are stored in the stack.

References is like pointers and pointers stores address so I think that's why references are stored on stack.

In c++ references are stored in stack surely.
When we talk about reference in java, it places Heap area.

References store address of objects and only refer to objects. They are used only as a pointer.

Reference is also a variable declared in a function. That should be stored in stack.

Reference is a variable&data declaration part in your program. (i.e int a =6).

ref in cpp is treated as constant pointer.
<type>* const <ptr>;
<type>* const <ptr>;

A reference variable is the "alias name" to the existing data type variable.
