garbage collection

[shashank dwivedi]

class A{
A()
{
System.out.print("Inside A");
}
}
class B extends A{
B()
{
System.out.print("Inside B");
}
}
class GcDemo
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
B b1=new B();
B b2=new B();
b1=b2;
}
}

how many objects are eligible for garbage collection and why?

It would be better if you could tell us what you think the answer is and we can have a discussion around it if needed. Sure there are people here who can give the answer right away but it'd be nice to not have the feeling that we're just doing somebody's homework.

Yes, tell us first what you think.

Also, eligible for GC at which exact point in the code?
