Question
Explain how to force the garbage collection in Java
Answers
- First of all Garbage collection is an automatic process and can't be forced. Although, you can request it by calling System.gc().
- JVM does not guarantee that GC will be started immediately.
- Every class inherits finalize() method from java.lang.Object.
- The finalize() method is called by garbage collector when it determines no more references to the object exists.
- You can sent request to recycle the unused objects by calling System.gc() and Runtime.gc() , but there is no guarantee when all the objects will garbage collected.   Your Comment
