What are garbage collection strategies?

Garbage collection strategies are like different ways to clean up your toys after playing.

Imagine you have a big room full of toys, some are still useful, others are just sitting there unused. Garbage collection is the process of picking up those unused toys so the room stays tidy and ready for more fun.

There are a few different strategies to clean up:

• One way is like cleaning up every time you finish playing, it's quick, but you might do it often.
• Another way is like leaving the toys around until they’re all scattered, then doing one big cleanup. This saves time during play, but takes longer at the end.

Different strategies work better in different situations. If your room gets messy quickly, cleaning up every time makes sense. But if you play for a long time, waiting to clean up everything at once can save energy.

It's like how you might tidy your backpack before heading out, or wait until it’s full of stuff and then sort it all at once. Both work, it just depends on what you need!
