Garbage collection
As developers, we allocate memory for objects, data structures, and various other components, but what happens to this memory when it’s no longer in use? Enter the realm of the garbage collector (GC) – a silent guardian of memory management in the .NET ecosystem. This section will introduce you to the intricacies of the garbage collection process, elucidating how C# and .NET ensure efficient utilization and reclamation of memory resources. Delving deeper, you’ll learn about the inner workings of the GC, its generations, and how it identifies and cleans up unreferenced objects. While the GC operates mostly behind the scenes, understanding its behavior and mechanisms can be crucial for optimizing application performance, especially for resource-intensive applications. Journey with us as we demystify the GC, providing you with tools and knowledge to keep your applications running smoothly and efficiently.
