Does Kotlin have a garbage collector? If so, on which algorithm is it based?

I'm doing a school project on Kotlin and need to know how it deals with garbage. Is it similar to Java in its garbage collector?

The garbage collector depends on the settings of your JVM runtime, not the language the program is written in (Jave, Kotlin, Groovy, Scala, Ceylon, etc)

Kotlin is run in JVM so it uses the same garbage collector as Java or any other JVM based language.
