How Java's Garbage Collection Works

♻️ Garbage Collection in Java — Simplified! 🚀 In Java, memory management is handled automatically using a process called Garbage Collection (GC). It removes objects that are no longer in use, keeping your application memory-efficient and stable! 💡 🧠 How it works: obj1 and obj2 are made null, so they’re no longer referenced. System.gc() requests the JVM to perform Garbage Collection. Before destroying an object, the JVM automatically calls the finalize() method. Adding a small delay (Thread.sleep(1000)) helps give the JVM time to trigger GC before the program exits. ✅ Sample Output: Garbage collector called for object: GarbageCollector@6bc7c054 Garbage collector called for object: GarbageCollector@232204a1 Main method completed Java’s Garbage Collector ensures that memory is managed efficiently — so developers can focus on logic, not cleanup! 💪 #Java #GarbageCollection #Programming #JavaDeveloper #Coding #TechLearning
