What is Garbage Collection(GC)?

  • The garbage collector (GC) manages the allocation and release of memory in .NET framework. 
  • Garbage collection is one of the responsibilities of CLR only.
  • Garbage collector will dispose this employee object automatically when it is no longer needed.

Garbage Collection (GC) is an automatic memory management technique used by programming languages like C# to reclaim memory that is no longer in use by the program. It frees up memory occupied by objects that are no longer referenced, making it available for future allocations.

Garbage collection in C# operates transparently, allowing developers to focus on writing code without manual memory management concerns. By automatically reclaiming memory, GC helps prevent issues like memory leaks and memory fragmentation, improving overall program stability and performance.
