Sodium chloride contain water of crystalisation?

DEAR STUDENT,
sodium chloride has no water of crystallization, but it is in crystalline shape. It is a crystalline salt without water of crystallization. Actually, NaCl dissolves in water completely and when it is vaporized, it doesn't unite with any amount (molecules) of water, so it doesn't have the water of crystallization.

Anhydrous substance does not contain water molecule. These obtained from hydrated salts by carefully removing water of crystallization from them.
 
NaCl is an anhydrous salt but if some impurity like salts of group II is present, they absorb moisture from the air because they are hygroscopic substances that's why NaCl looks moisty. But its an anhydrous salt.
