Thanks for all your answers. They were really helpful to me. One small
question, do we need to invoke Garbage Collector explictly and if so, how?
Thanks,
Vijay.

You shouldn't have to invoke the garbage collector manually as it runs
automatically, most often when ruby is allocating memory and it's internal
memory tracker says there isn't any available or if allocating memory fails.

Hello people,
Can we use as many variable names as we want in a script without worrying about
the memory wastage? Each variable is going to occupy some bytes in memory and
those bytes would remain occupied as long as the script is running. If so,
then in order to avoid memory wastage, to the
Ruby takes care of that, as far as I know. You do not have to worry about
memory, unless you have extremely low memory situation.

The number of variables is not going to be a problem. But watch out
if you have for instance several arrays with 50,000 elements in each.
Those can eat up some memory.
Ruby has what's called a garbage collector that handles removing
things that the script is done with.
