We need more details, is that particular line of code inside a method? or
inside an instance?
The way you declare it seems like this is inside a method.
The GC collects any memory that is not being referenced. as soon as an
entity (like double[1000]) is not longer accesible it will be ready to be
collected.
then use the array, then at some later point, allocate it again, eg:
double[] x = new double[15000];
does the garbage collector know that the memory allocated the first time
round can be garbage
collected, or do I have to set x to null first before allocating the
second time around?
