Explain how garbage collection manages the reclamation of unused memory.
The garbage collector assumes that all objects in the managed heap are garbage.
It starts walking the roots and builds a graph of all objects reachable from
the roots recursively. It stops when it attempts to add an object to the graph
that it previously added. The graph contains the set of all objects that are
reachable from the application's roots. Any object/s that is not in the graph
is not accessible by the application, and is considered garbage. Collection
only occurs when the heap is full. In such a case, each and every garbage
object calls the Finalize method and reclaims the unused memory.
