Your Answer for Question 1:
a: False, it will never be call in the middle of a free list. It might reduce it because the size of malloc is the same as the free space, but not always.

b: True, malloc is being call, it is being call at the beginning of a free list, so after malloc, the free space is still there.

c: False, it will never allocate memory in the middle of a free space.

Your Answer for Question 2:
a: False, the memory it free is next to another free block, then the number of free blocks is the same.

b: True: look at example given above

c: True: it may free a block between two free blocks

d: False: the maximum number of blocks it can free is one, which is by freeing a block between two free blocks

Your Answer for Question 3:
the command "new" is equivalent to malloc, while "delete" is equivalent to free. 
Java can build an automatic memory allocation beause it has a handle between pointers, so even if it refrag, it won't lose the value's address, unlike C.


Your Answer for Question 4:
It cannot be reclaim by the reference count method, because all the blocks are being point.
It can be reclaim by mark and sweep, since it is a loop all by itself, with nothing else pointing to it other thn the pointers within its own structure. 

Your Answer for Question 5:
parallel garbage collection is confusing.
