Garbage Collector (GC)

Garbage Collector (GC) –

Here is how GC works and its advantages:

1.De-allocation or freeing of resources consumed by created instances.

üIn C#, the de-allocation or freeing of resources consumed by created instances occurs automatically on a system-determined schedule by an intelligent mechanism known as garbage collection.

üThe Garbage Collector (GC) is like a sweeper fish in an aquarium.

üIf you drop more food than the other fish can eat, the sweeper fish consumes the remaining food without leaving anything behind. 

üThe convenience and usefulness of GC has been known since Java.

2.Runs simultaneously with application

üThe GC in C# improves on the concept because it does not reduce the system's performance until really needed.

üIt is smarter than other garbage collectors currently on the market.

üYou can overcome the disadvantages of CG's nondeterministic behavior by using destructors and finalizers.

üYou can allocate member instances with constructors . Let's explore some important aspects of garbage collecting in .NET. 

3.Do not need to code destructors or finalizers

üIn C#, most of the time, you do not need to code destructors or finalizers because you can trust GC to clean up for you with destructors.

üThese functions are called implicitly by the C# runtime system's garbage collector. 

4.If explicit deterministic deallocation of objects is important in class and inheritance hierarchy.
