How many objects are eligible for garbage collection once execution has reached the line labeled Line
A?
String name;
String newName = "Nick"; //newName points to "Nick"
newName = "Jason"; //now newname points to Jason, so Nick is eligible for garbage collection, our count=1;
name = "Frieda"; //name points to "Frieda"
String newestName = name; //newestname refers to name, hence "object" "Freida" is refered to by two variables.
name = null; // here you set name=null, but still newestname points to "Freida", so our count is still 1
//Line A
a) 0
b) 1 //ANS
c) 2
d) 3
e) 4
