Regarding your question, there is deliberately no way in Pure
Java to ask how much memory will be used by an object or primitive. Java programming is supposed to be at least one step above such considerations, and
you should not write a Java program that depends on knowing about low-level memory issues.
The amount of memory used by an object or primitive varies between JVMs. You can probably find out how to estimate it for a particular JVM.
