Java Program To Perform GC

This Java program prints the free memory before and after calling garbage collection to demonstrate how it works. It uses the Runtime class's getRuntime() and freeMemory() methods to get the current runtime object and check available memory. The gc() method is then called to perform garbage collection and freeMemory() prints the amount, showing more available memory afterwards.

object.

public static void main(String s[]) throws Exception
{
Runtime rs = Runtime.getRuntime();
System.out.println("Free memory in JVM before Garbage

Output of program:

Obviously the amount of available after


garbage collection will be different on your
computer. Numbers are not important,
what is important is that amount of memory
available is more than before. You can use
this code in your program or projects which
uses large amount of memory or where
frequently new objects are created but are
required for a short span of time.
