Garbage Collection doubt

[mamidi venkat]

Hi All

X3 x2 = new X3();
X3 x3 = new X3();
X3 x5 = x3;
x3 = x2;
X3 x4 = x3;

Question
x5->x3
x3->x2

Can any one explains me what happens with x5 here is x5 is deleted
because x3 having the reference of x2 or x5 is holding the reference of x3

Here None of the object is garbage collected.

x5 is pointing to the object which was created by x3 reference previously.
