What will happen when you compile and run the following code?
class Box{
private int iVolume;
Box(int iVolume){
this.iVolume=iVolume;
}
public void finalize(){
System.out.println("finalizing a Box");
}
}

public class EdGrundy{
boolean stop = false;
public static void main(String argv[]){
new EdGrundy();
}
EdGrundy(){
while(stop==false){
new Box(99);
}
}
}

As there is no reference to new Box() object, it will be garbage collected and finalize message will be printed when this object is garbage collected.

Its an infinate loop...
New objects are created as well as garbage collected forever till you halt JVM..
