Garbage Collection Explained: How Automatic Memory Management Works

Have you ever wondered how programming languages manage memory automatically? 🧹 In this beginner-friendly guide, we break down Garbage Collection (GC) - the unsung hero of modern development!

We explore the difference between the Stack and the Heap, explain how the computer decides what is "garbage", and visualize popular algorithms like Reference Counting and Mark & Sweep. 🧠

We also touch on the trade-offs between manual memory management (like in C++) and automatic management (like in Java/Python), and how modern collectors avoid pausing your application. Whether you are learning to code or just curious about what happens under the hood, this video is for you!
