    Garbage Collector

    The garbage collector is invoked automatically by the JVM to check which objects are reachable or unreachable in heap memory. Unreachable objects that are no longer referenced by any other objects will have their memory freed. While System.gc() can be used to request that the garbage collector runs, there is no guarantee it will run immediately, as the JVM decides when to invoke the garbage collector.

    Garbage Collector

    How does garbage collector decide which objects are to be removed? Can garbage collector be forced? Garbage collector is invoked by JVM automatically. This function checks for all the object in heap memory and whether oject are having any refrence or not. If an object does have any refrence variable means it is unreachable then garbage collector frees that memory. By using system.gc() commond we can run garbage collector forcefully. Garbage collector removes those objects from heap memory which are no longer referred by any other objects. Using System.gc() you can call garbage collector but its not neccesary that it will run. JVM decides when the Garbage Collector will run.
