    John, love your content, i'm primarily self taught and want to turn this into a career after my current obligations. I had some ideas i'd love to see from you, one being for people like myself, of which there are many, is a video detailing many of things that get overlooked when self taught, for example, how array lists and linked list differ performance wise (This isn't the best example but hopefully you get the idea), there are lots of things overlooked when getting from point A to point B being self taught and it could be really useful. A more simple idea i would love to see is a video teaching use about bitwise operators and how they are used and work, or maybe a video talking more about bigger picture things like using version control with git and team environments, love the content, keep it up!!!

    So if I just created an object but never assigned that object to a variable, that means to a reference in memory, that object would get garbage collected basically immediately?

    • @CodingWithJohn
      @CodingWithJohn  10 месяцев назад +3

      Yep, it would at least be eligible! If your whole line of code was just:
      new Cat();
      It's immediately unreachable. It wouldn't necessarily go away immediately because GC works in batches, but in the next round of collection it would definitely be gone.

      You can suggest that the garbage collector run by calling System.gc();, but this doesn't guarantee it will actually do it. I've never had to do this in my entire career, I've always been able to rely on the garbage collector to do its job without any management.

    • @ericpenrose3649
      @ericpenrose3649 10 месяцев назад +5

      If you want a broad strategy on how to generally write more performant code in Java, that can be summed up into a single sentence: "Use Javas built-in tools as much as possible, and make sure you research that its intended use matches what you're doing with it". The problem with a question so broad is that every instance of 'optimizing performance' is a unique type of problem and would require just as many videos. If you look at Johns catalogue you will find many videos that touch on individual problems and the considerations when optimizing them. But he doesn't have infinite videos.
      Say you're trying to optimize a custom sort on an array of json objects, are you trying to optimize for execution speed or memory management? Both are different types of performance. Both will have different considerations and may be done entirely differently. Optimizing a custom sort of a different type of object might also have its own set of approaches for either speed or memory. But back to my first point, if there is a built-in Java object type or method meant to do the thing you are trying to do, it is a more mature solution than your custom sorter would be. It will likely be reasonably efficient with both speed and memory, and will catch more edge-cases and have more informative errors for them than a custom solution.

      Don't use Java for performance critical code. Outside of that, it's about the same as for every other managed language: make use of the library and write simple code. Performance is generally good enough and it prevents you from shooting yourself in the foot. If that's not good enough, really, don't use the JVM.

    Once upon a time, I had some colleagues who believed that setting a variable to null somehow "helped" the garbage collector. It was difficult to convince them that it was all superstition, and that no, it wasn't doing anything.
    Sometimes, the smartest minds are also the dumbest.

    Devil's advocate here: If we still have to set `ptr = null;` to make it (eventually) free the memory, from the programmer's perspective how is that anyhing more convenient than writing `free(ptr);` or `delete ptr;` as we do in C/C++ ? What problem does it solve? How is this anything different from manual memory management, except for introducing more runtime overhead?
