What is a memory leak?

A memory leak refers to a situation in computer programming where a program fails to release memory that it no longer needs or is not being used. This can result in the gradual accumulation of unused memory, leading to a decrease in available memory for other processes and potentially causing the program or system to crash or become unstable.
