Java - Memory Management Basics
In Java, what is the main role of the heap memory area?
ATo store all class-level static variables and constants
BTo allocate memory for all objects created during runtime
CTo hold the call stack for method execution
DTo store local primitive variables inside methods
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand Java memory areas

    Java divides memory into stack and heap; stack is for method calls and primitives, heap is for objects.
  2. Step 2: Identify heap's purpose

    Heap memory is used to store all objects created with 'new' keyword during runtime.
  3. Final Answer:

    To allocate memory for all objects created during runtime -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Heap = objects, Stack = method calls and primitives [OK]
Quick Trick: Heap stores objects created at runtime [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Confusing heap with stack memory
  • Thinking static variables are stored in heap
  • Assuming primitives are stored in heap
