Garbage Collection:-

• The heap memory is divided into number of generations.
• Normally it is three generations.
• The Generation 0 is for short live objects,.
• Generation 1 is for medium live objects which are moved from Generation 0.
• Generation 3 is mostly stable objects.
• When an object is created then it will allocate the memory space which will be higher.
• It will be in the Generation 0 and the memory allocation will be continuous without any space between the generations of garbage collectors.

How it works:-

• Implicit Garbage Collection should be handled by the .Net framework.
• When object is created then it will be placed in the Generation 0.
• The garbage collection uses an algorithm which checks the objects in the generation, the objects life time get over then it will be removed from the memory.
• The two kinds of objects. One is Live Objects and Dead Objects.
• The Garbage collection algorithm collects all unused objects that are dead objects in the generation.
• If the live objects running for long time then based on that life time it will be moved to next generation.
• The object cleaning in the generation will not take place exactly after the life time over of the particular objects.
• It takes own time to implement the sweeping algorithm to free the spaces to the process.
