What is garbage collection?

Garbage collection (GC) is a form of automatic memory management. The garbage collector attempts to reclaim memory occupied by objects that are no longer in use by the program. It is commonly used in programming languages like Java, Python, and JavaScript to automatically free up memory, preventing memory leaks and simplifying memory management for developers.
