C# The 'new' keyword on existing objects

Question

I was wondering as to what happens to an object (in C#), once its reference becomes reassigned. Example:

Car c = new Car(\"Red Car\");
c = new Car(\"Blue Car         


        

Answer 1

You create a new object and assign a reference to it to your variable c. At the same time the previous object (the "red car") is now not referenced anymore and may be garbage collected.
