Hi,
I was recently asked a question about an object life cycle in Java, especially with regard to what happens when we do an
A a = new A();
and what goes to the stack and what to the heap.
Any info would be welcome.
Thanks

Local variables are kept on the stack, while objects are kept on the heap. If this line of code is in a method, then the variable a is on the stack and the A object is on the heap; if it's a line of code at the top level of a class, then a is inside some other object on the heap, and the A is also on the heap.
