Memory allocation

[Dhinesh babu]

Hi All,

Consider the following code

class Test
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int a;
int b;

public mymethod()
{
System.out.println("Sample");
}
}

If i create an object for the above code using new keyword, how the memory willbe allocated in heap.
Please explain

Thanks in advance,
Dhinesh

Your example code is malformed, it will not compile. You are missing a closing } for the main method. Did you mean a and b to be local variables in the main method?

When you create an object, some memory will be allocated on the heap to store the member variables and some other data for the object. Assuming that a and b are local variables inside the main method and not member variables, your class doesn't have any member variables, so the object will consist of just a few bytes with some administrative information that the JVM uses internally.

Was that what you wanted to know? If not, then please explain your question in more detail.
