Java
The garbage collector is a form of automatic memory management in programming languages like
Java and C#. It identifies and reclaims memory that is no longer in use by the application, freeing developers from manual memory management. This process helps prevent memory leaks and optimizes resource utilization, allowing programs to run more efficiently. The garbage collector periodically scans the memory for objects that are no longer reachable and removes them, thus maintaining the health of the application.
