Java garbage collection

13
What is the disadvantage of having each java object with its own garbage collection function/object? For example if an object is not referred by anything in the application the object will remove itself from the memory/ heap. In theory if the object is not wanted or used by anything in the application it will clear itself from memory. Is this possible?

garbage collector will remove the memory occupied by the object if it isn't referenced by any variable in the program. The object can't clear itself from memory.

Thank you for ur reply...275125 but why is it object can not remove itself from memory?

Only garbage collector perform memory cleanup. Unlike C\C++, where an object must be destroyed manually using the delete operator, java handles memory deallocation automatically by a process called garbage collection.
