An application running on a system computer uses some
memory, which makes memory management a significant issue
for any programming language. As Java is comparatively high-
level language, the memory management in Java is automatic.
To make it more efficient, we need to understand garbage
collection, i.e. freeing memory from objects that are no
longer in use.
Garbage collection is the process of automatically freeing
objects that are no longer referenced by the program. This
frees a programmer from having to keep track of when to
free allocated memory, thus preventing many potential bugs
and problems.
