Answer
Eden space is for short-lived objects and cleared frequently.
In Java's memory model, the Eden space is part of the Young Generation where most objects are initially allocated. It is optimized for short-lived objects and is cleared during minor garbage collection events. For example, creating temporary variables in a loop will likely be allocated in the Eden space and collected quickly.
