Memory allocation in Java

 The Java Memory Allocation is divided into following sections :

1. Heap
2. Stack
3. Code
4. Static

This division of memory is required for its effective management.

• The code section contains your bytecode.
• The Stack section of memory contains methods, local variables, and reference variables.
• The Heap section contains Objects (may also contain reference variables).
• The Static section contains Static data/methods.

Object gets the memory in heap memory area. The reference variable refers to the objects allocated in the heap memory area.
