Java - Memory Management Basics
You want to ensure an object is cleaned up immediately after use. Which approach is best in Java?
ASet all references to null and call System.gc()
BCreate the object inside a method so it goes out of scope
CUse the finalize() method to delete the object
DUse the delete keyword to free memory
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand Java's memory management

    Java does not allow manual memory deletion; objects are cleaned when unreachable.
  2. Step 2: Use scope to limit object lifetime

    Creating objects inside methods limits their scope, so they become unreachable after method ends.
  3. Final Answer:

    Create the object inside a method so it goes out of scope -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Scope limits object lifetime best in Java [OK]
Quick Trick: Limit object scope to control lifetime naturally [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Relying on finalize() which is deprecated
  • Expecting System.gc() to guarantee immediate cleanup
  • Using delete keyword which doesn't exist in Java
