 Q3. How do you check memory leak in Java?Core Java
Ans. You need to capture heap dump when it's in the healthy state. Start your application. Let it take real traffic for 10 minutes. At this point, capture heap dump. Heap Dump is basically the snapshot of your memory. It contains all objects that are residing in the memory, values stored in those objects, inbound

 Q4. What is memory leak ? How Java helps countering memory leaks compared to C++ ?Core Java
Ans. Memory Leak is a situation wherein we have a reserved memory location but the program has lost its reference and hence has no way to access it.

Java doesn't have concept of Pointers, Moreover Java has concept of Garbage collection that frees up space in heap that has lost its references.

 Q6. Should we do anything to avoid memory leaks in Java ?Core Java
Ans. Java has a intrinsic way of checking leaks and reclaiming memory called garbage collection. Moreover Java doesn't support pointer arithmetics , so there is very low comparative chance of memory leaks, compared to C,C++

Though there may be tools that may audit code to make sure that we are not leaving much for the garbage collection to work but I have never heard anyone doing anything for memory leaks in Java.
