about Java Garbage Collector

Java Garbage Collector -
      Garbage Collector in Java working for release the memory form waste (unreachable) object.
Garbage Collector works with heap memory.
              Any Object is created in Java it goes to the heap memory. When this object is being waste or unreachable then Garbage Collector release memory from its.

Understand about  waste or unreachable object -
   
    String s  = new String(“Albert”);

    String s1 = new String (“Another”);

    s1=s;

           in this case new String (“Another”); has been waste object.
