Understanding Generational GC: Young, Old & Promotion

The JVM heap memory is divided into Young Gen and Old Gen to improve garbage collection efficiency. Most objects are short-lived, residing in Young Gen, while long-lived objects move to Old Gen after surviving several garbage collection cycles. This partitioning reduces performance overhead by limiting the search space for the garbage collector.
