Given a code example, recognize the point at which an object becomes eligible for garbage collection, and determine what is and is not guaranteed by the garbage collection system. Recognize the behaviors of `System.gc` and finalization.

Determine the effect upon object references and primitive values when they are passed into methods that perform assignments or other modifying operations on the parameters.	Home	Given the fully-qualified name of a class that is deployed inside and/or outside a JAR file, construct the appropriate directory structure for that class. Given a code example and a classpath, determine whether the classpath will allow the code to compile successfully. Write code that correctly applies the appropriate operators including assignment operators (limited to: =, +=, -=), arithmetic operators (limited to: +, -, *, /, %, ++, --), relational operators (limited to: <, <=, >, >=, ==, !=), the instanceof operator, logical operators (limited to: &, \|, ^, !, &&, \|\|), and the conditional operator ( ? : ), to produce a desired result. Write code that determines the equality of two objects or two primitives.
