What is ARC?

ARC (Automatic Reference Counting) is a memory management feature in Objective-C and Swift that automates the process of releasing objects when they are no longer needed, preventing memory leaks. It works by tracking the number of references to an object and automatically deallocating the object when the reference count drops to zero. It is commonly used in iOS and macOS development.
