Garbage collection is an automatic memory management process that identifies and reclaims memory that is no longer in use, helping to prevent memory leaks and optimize resource utilization. It works by tracking objects created during program execution and automatically freeing up memory that is no longer referenced, ensuring efficient memory use and performance. This process is especially critical in applications involving complex asset streaming and resource-heavy environments.
congrats on reading the definition of garbage collection. now let's actually learn it.
