From Boone Exam:
Which statement about g.c are true?Select all valid answers?
a>you can directly free the memory allocated by an object
b>you can directly run the g.c when I want
c>g.c informs your object when it is about to be garbage collected.
d>g.c reclaims an object's memory as soon as it becomes a candidate for garbage collection.
e>g.c runs in low memory situations.
Ans: b,c
But my answer was c,e.
If we use System.gc() ,is it g.c
thread forced to run immediately but no garbage collection takes place until it is eligible by some random
