An enterprise question on local field definition in a loop

Question

Hi all,
I have two situation as follows, one is to define A a in a loop, the other is to define A a outside loop. From enterprise view, which is better, ot both are same. Thank you so much in advance.
List<A> aList = new ArrayList<A>();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
A a = new A();
aList.add(a);
List<A> aList = new ArrayList<A>();
A a = null;
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
a = new A();
aList.add(a);
}

Answer 1

Thank you very much for your reply. What I think
about "enterprise view" is that in an enterprise
project,It's just Java... it doesn't behave differently in different project scales.
both the two situations have the same memory
consumption and garbage collection? Yes. How would the memory consumption differ anyway? 4 kB of reference created and released vs. 4 kB of reference created, released, created, released... (Though I said before, the latter does not happen anyway.)
GC might not be able to clean up the last object in the second way if it happens to run just after the loop exited because you still have a valid reference to it, but that's purely academic.
