Каковы принципиальные различия между сборкой мусора в C # и Java?

Много хороших ответов здесь, вот мое дополнение вместе с несколькими модульными тестами, которые можно использовать для проверки правильности, мое решение аналогично приведенному выше @ Rianne, но использует ISet для обеспечения времени поиска O (1) на заменяемых персонажах (и также похоже на решение Linq @Albin Sunnanbo).

    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;

    /// <summary>
    /// Returns a string with the specified characters removed.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="source">The string to filter.</param>
    /// <param name="removeCharacters">The characters to remove.</param>
    /// <returns>A new <see cref="System.String"/> with the specified characters removed.</returns>
    public static string Remove(this string source, IEnumerable<char> removeCharacters)
    {
        if (source == null)
        {
            throw new  ArgumentNullException("source");
        }

        if (removeCharacters == null)
        {
            throw new ArgumentNullException("removeCharacters");
        }

        // First see if we were given a collection that supports ISet
        ISet<char> replaceChars = removeCharacters as ISet<char>;

        if (replaceChars == null)
        {
            replaceChars = new HashSet<char>(removeCharacters);
        }

        IEnumerable<char> filtered = source.Where(currentChar => !replaceChars.Contains(currentChar));

        return new string(filtered.ToArray());
    }
