Out of memory exception in Java:
Whenever you create an object in Java it is stored in the heap area of the JVM. If the JVM is not able to allocate memory for the newly created objects an exception named OutOfMemoryError is thrown.
This usually occurs when we are not closing objects for long time or, trying to act huge amount of data at once.
There are 3 types of errors in OutOfMemoryError −
- Java heap space.
- GC Overhead limit exceeded.
- Permgen space.
Example 1
public class SpaceErrorExample {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
Float[] array = new Float[10000 * 100000];
}
}Output
Runtime exception
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space at sample.SpaceErrorExample.main(SpaceErrorExample.java:7)
Example 2
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.ListIterator;
public class OutOfMemoryExample{
public static void main(String args[]) {
//Instantiating an ArrayList object
ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
//populating the ArrayList
list.add("apples");
list.add("mangoes");
list.add("oranges");
//Getting the Iterator object of the ArrayList
ListIterator<String> it = list.listIterator();
while(it.hasNext()) {
it.add("");
}
}
}Output
Runtime exception
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space at sample.SpaceErrorExample.main(SpaceErrorExample.java:7)
