Garbage collection is the technique by which memory is managed automatically by reclaiming unused memory. It is a feature present in programming languages like Java, due to which the programmers need not keep track of the unused objects and destroy them. It is done automatically using Garbage Collection

Mainly the GC has 3 generations
Generation 0 : where the short lived objects are resides
Generation 1 : where the space between the short lived and long lived objects are lived
Generation 3 : where the actual long lived objects are lived
