📝 Contenu du Prompt
Explain the theoretical underpinnings of the Generational Hypothesis in garbage collection. Detail how a tri-generational collector (Eden, Survivor, Tenured) manages object promotion and handles minor versus major GC cycles. Discuss how algorithms like Mark-Sweep-Compact differ from Copying algorithms in the Old Generation and why different algorithms are chosen for different generations.
