What is a memory leak?

PDF Print E-mail
Its an scenario where the program has lost a reference to an area in the memory. Its a programming term describing the loss of memory. This happens when the program allocates some memory but fails to return it to the system

The memory which is initialised in the program but due to some reason we cant able to use that memory is called memory leak.

Memory leak is unintentional memory consumption by a computer program, where the program fails to release the memory when no longer needed. This condition is normally the result of a bug in a program that prevents it from freeing up memory that it no longer needs.
