Is memory management in different languages similar enough to transfer my knowledge?
c, c++, java, memory-management, objective-c
Solution
Memory management comes in two distinct flavours: unmanaged and managed.
Unmanaged is C/C++ where the programmer is responsible for memory allocation.
Managed is like Java/.Net, where memory is allocated for you but cleaned up by the virtual machine ("garbage collected").
Within those two flavours you will find many variations.
Problem
I'm just starting to learn programming. And as of now, I know a tad bit of memory management in Objective-C. It wasn't easy learning it. So, just out of curiosity, is the memory management employed in major languages like C, C++, Java, etc., in any way similar to what I've learned?
