So far, you’ve learned how to develop classes and create and initialize objects. Now is a great time to study the details of Objective-C memory management.

In this chapter, you’ll look into how computer memory is allocated and released for Objective-C programs, the Objective-C memory model, and how to write programs that perform memory management properly.
