Garbage Collection

[Sanjay Saxena]

 
class Garbage {
    public static void main (String[] args) {
    String[] str = new String[3];  
    Str[0] = new String("A");  
    Str[1] = new String("B");  
    Str[2] = new String("C");  
    str = null;
    // Suppose the code compiles, then,
    // How many objects are eligible for garbage collection, here at this line. 
  }
}

I would say 4, that is, the three array components and the array object itself.
But for this code to compile you will have to make the first letter of "Str" lowercase, that is "str".
