Describe, in general, how java's garbage collector works?..

Answer / Pawan Kumar Pandey

Java's Garbage Collector (GC) is responsible for managing memory allocation and deallocation. It identifies and frees objects that are no longer referenced by any other object, thus eliminating potential memory leaks. The GC works based on a generational hypothesis, which assumes that most objects have short lifetimes. By categorizing objects into generations (young generation, survivor space, and tenured generation), the GC can optimize memory allocation and collection.
