✨ JavaScript's Garbage Collection

ℹ️ The garbage collector in JavaScript is responsible for reclaiming memory occupied by objects that are no longer needed. This mechanism is done using mark-and-sweep algorithm.

ℹ️ The mark-and-sweep algorithm consists of two main phases:

1️⃣Marking: Garbage collector marks reachable objects from the global object, ensuring none are left unmarked if reachable from a rooted object.

2️⃣ Sweeping: Garbage collector reclaims memory from unmarked objects, freeing it up for future use.
