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

If there are no other references to Red car, it will be collected by the GC on its next cycle. You don't need anything extra (unless it's a class that has streams etc. that need to be disposed)
