This post consist of 95% gibberish. The only part that is not gibberish is "array index out of bounds exception" and that has nothing to do with memory at all.

is that array of primitive types or reference types.

if it is reference type, all objects are clean-uped by Garbage collector only. if u want to make your object eligible for garbage collection then set its reference to null.

if you want to clean all the elements of an array (of references) before assigning new references then create a method which iterate over the array and sets all the references to null.

1==> array index out of bound exception comes when we try to access excess of the memory which is allocated

lets suppose you can declared an array like below

int student[] = new student[2];

hence if you try to access student[2] or above then you get

"ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException "

2==>The answer to your question is you can use ArrayList instead of Array because case where you need to insert and deleted at any position ArrayList is the best .

For removing all the references in the ArrayList there is a simple command clear(); JVM will do the rest ;)

import java.util.ArrayList;

ArrayList student = new ArrayList(();

student.add("Merry");

student.add( any object of a class);

student.add(any variable);

student.clear();

hav u solved the problem?
