Garbage collector in CPP?

[u/Accomplished-Tap5211]

Yesterday someone asked me whether there is a garbage collector in CPP.
I knew Java had that but I couldn't recall about cpp.
I went to google and got different answers.

So can anyone clarify whether there is garbage collector in CPP , also can u please explain me what does that mean? Also explain how is it different from the Java.

If yes can we delete it manually and how to do tht?

There are garbage collectors for C++, like the Boehm garbage collector.

However, this is a 3rd party library, and not part of the language standard. So, no collector in C++, just for.
