Discussion
When complex1=NumberComplex(1,3) is done, a new instance of the object gets generated in memory and the name complex1 ties with it. The object does not immediately get destroyed as itt temporarily stays in memory before the garbage collector purges it from memory. The purging of the object helps free resources bound to the object and enhances system efficiency. Garbage destruction Python refers to automatic destruction of unreferenced objects.
