GarbageCollection (GC01)

   1:  function createObject() {
   2:      const obj = { name: 'Alice', data: new Array(1000000).fill(0) }; // Large array to consume memory
   3:      return obj; // Reference is returned
   4:  }
   5:  
   6:  let myObject = createObject();
   7:  myObject = null; // Remove the reference. After this the object is eligible for garbage collection
   8:  
   9:  



Conceptual Illustrating Garbage Collection
The 'obj' object is now eligible for garbage collection. The JavaScript engine will eventually reclaim the memory.
You won't see a specific indication, but memory usage would decrease over time or in subsequent memory allocations.
