What are the best practices in garbage collection?

Best practices in garbage collection include minimizing memory leaks, using efficient algorithms, and regularly monitoring memory usage.

Can you explain how to minimize memory leaks?

To minimize memory leaks, ensure that you properly dispose of objects that are no longer needed and avoid circular references.

What algorithms are considered efficient for garbage collection?

Efficient algorithms include mark-and-sweep, generational garbage collection, and reference counting.

How often should garbage collection be monitored?

Garbage collection should be monitored regularly, ideally during performance testing and after significant application changes.
