  • Generation 0 - When an object is initialized, it is said to be in generation 0.
  • Generation 1 - The objects that are under garbage collection process are considered to be in generation 1.
  • Generation 2 - Whenever new objects are created and added to the memory, they are added to generation 0 and the old objects in generation 1 are considered to be in generation 2.
