Knowledge Centre
Purpose of garbage collection
The garbage collection process is to identify the objects which are no longer referenced or needed by a program so that their resources can be reclaimed and reused. These identified objects will be discarded.
Famous Quotations
There is a great difference between worry and concern. A worried person sees a problem, and a concerned person solves a problem.
