Deleting an object in java?

In Java, objects are automatically eligible for garbage collection when they are no longer reachable. This means that you don't need to explicitly delete objects in Java.

When an object is no longer reachable, the Java garbage collector will automatically reclaim the memory used by the object. You can use the System.gc() method to request garbage collection, but you cannot force the garbage collector to run.

Here is an example of how an object becomes eligible for garbage collection in Java:

MyObject obj = new MyObject();
// obj is reachable here

obj = null;
// obj is no longer reachable here and is eligible for garbage collection

In the example above, the obj object is created and is reachable. When the obj variable is assigned the null value, the obj object becomes unreachable and is eligible for garbage collection.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
