TIP

As has been noted. Coder doesn’t certainly remove the memory into the program. Moreover, garbage collector searches the unnecessary garbage objects and remove them. Basically, this garbage collector was built based on two hypotheses. 

• As can be seen majorly all the objects soon become not reachable.
• References from the oldest objects to the latest objects only exist in small numbers.
