Memory management and garbage collection for oca 7 ?

[kavya shringar]

Hi folks,
I am reading k&B book to prep for OCA 7 exam,and I want to know if garbage collection topic is included for exam? I think it is not,looking for clarification.

I have found some topics on JavaBeans in the book,is this part of the exam topic ?

Thanks in advance

Kavya,

JavaBeans is not on the OCA Java SE 7 Programmer I exam. The following exam objective expects you to understand how Java manages memory allocated to an object, including garbage collection:

2.4 Explain an object’s life cycle

Thanks.

With respect,
Mala
