garbage collection - delete ref to object in array javascript -

say have code:

var players = [];  function player(){   var num = players.length; }  players.push(new player()); //player

can delete player memory? example:

players.splice(0, 1);

will garbage collector collect player after this?

since javascript garbage collected, don't need delete objects - removed when there no way refer them anymore.

you can, however, delete reference object once you're it's been used:

it can useful delete references object if finished them, because gives garbage collector more information able reclaimed.

however in general taken care of , if hit edge case should not performance problem in small scale applications.
