❓ "Soft Reference is a type of Weak Reference" — is this correct? ❌ Technically Incorrect While both SoftReference and WeakReference are part of the same reference family (i.e., they are subclasses of java.lang.ref.Reference), SoftReference is not a subtype of WeakReference. ✅ Correct Statement: "SoftReference and WeakReference are two different types of non-strong references. Both extend the abstract class Reference, but neither is a subtype of the other."
