Allocating Stack and Heap Memory for Java Variables

  • Stack memory is used for method execution and local variable storage in Java.
  • Each method call creates a new stack frame, which is removed when the method completes.
  • Heap memory is used to store objects created at runtime in Java.
  • Unlike stack memory, heap memory requires garbage collection to manage unused objects.
  • Objects in the heap stay in memory until they are no longer referenced.
  • Stack memory is fast and predictable due to its structured Last In, First Out (LIFO) approach.
  • Heap memory allows for dynamic memory allocation but requires additional processing for management.
  • Garbage Collection in Java automatically removes unused objects from heap memory.
  • Frequent object creation and deletion in heap memory can lead to Garbage Collection overhead.
  • Efficient memory management is crucial for optimizing Java program performance.
