Hi George,

Here are the main differences:

 

Stack memory:

  • Is a data structure to storing data using the LIFO algo (last in first out).
  • Will be removed once the program go out - end running - the scope of its declaration OR all items were poped out.

Heap memory:

  • Is a data structure to storing and retrieving data using the pointers and addresses in memory ( the items locations are not ordered sequentially).
  • Will not be removed untill you remove it manually using the garbage collection.

 

Regards,
