Practical Garbage Collection - Part 1: Introduction
A very good writeup, but one thing always confuses me.<p>What is meant specifically by the "heap" and "stack"? I know what a stack is, but "heap" gets thrown around in many different contexts and I've yet to find any explanation that made it clear.<p>If anyone has a good explanation or good links for those two terms in this context, I'd be very grateful. Thanks!<p>[EDIT: thanks everyone for the answers so far!]
