Garbage Collection

[Mathew Sam]

 
class Test {
public static void main(String[] args){
     
   new Test().method();  // line1
   // some code
}
public void method(){
// some code here
}
}
 

When the Object created in line1 is ready for garbage collection?.
Will it be ready just after line1 ?

Yes. There is no reference to the object after that line is executed, so it is eligible for garbage collection after line 1.
