### 1. Two-Generation Garbage Collection ♻️

Flutter har frame me hazaron short-lived immutable Widgets create karta hai. Dart VM iske liye specialized 2-generation GC use karta hai:
1. **Young Generation (Scavenger):** Semi-space copy algorithm. Extremely fast (< 1ms). Short-lived widgets ko instantly clean karta hai.
2. **Old Generation (Mark-Sweep-Compact):** Jo objects young generation me survive kar jaate hain (e.g. Services, Singletons), unhe heavy mark-sweep GC monitor karta hai.

### 2. The `const` Constructor Performance Superpower ⚡

`const Text("Hello")` compile-time canonicalized object banata hai:
*   App me 1000 jagah use hone par bhi **Heap memory me sirf 1 single instance** rehta hai!
*   Widget tree re-render ke waqt Flutter `const` widgets ko **skip kar deta hai (Zero Garbage Collector overhead!)**.

### 4. Interview Ke 3 Sawal Is Topic Se

1. **`const` keyword Widget rebuilds ko kaise rokte hai?** -> Flutter framework check karta hai agar widget reference identical (`identical(oldWidget, newWidget)`) hai, toh wo us subtree ke `build()` method ko bypass kar deta hai.
2. **Flutter me Memory Leaks ke primary causes kya hote hain?** -> `AnimationController`, `TextEditingController`, `StreamSubscription` ko `dispose()` method me cancel na karna.
3. **Dart DevTools Memory Profile me "Retaining Path" kya dikhata hai?** -> Root object se lekar target object tak ka reference chain jisse pata chalta hai ki kis reference ki wajah se GC object ko delete nahi kar pa raha.
