What are the differences between C# and Java garbage collection?
On the Java platform, the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) manages the destruction of objects—garbage collection—by deleting objects which are no longer referenced. This occurs in a non-deterministic way.
Similarly, the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) handles garbage collection using a mark-and-compact algorithm.
The Garbage Collector is abbreviated GC.
