I don't know as well. Maybe, I feel that Class is more extendable and feature-rich
than Structure. Anyway, it is a just a small demonstration of how to detect
circle and rectangle detection. I don't know what is the name of my algorithm.

It is, but it's not needed here anyways. Plus a class object is a reference type, not a value type like a stucture is, thus it's allocated on the heap, and not the stack, which makes instantiation slower. This is a fairly small usertype too, so structure's would be much more appropriate.
