Memory leak is when memory used by an object or variable cannot be freed even after the code that created the object/ variable has finished execution.

According to wikipedia:

Memory leaks are often thought of as failures to release unused memory by a computer program. Strictly speaking, it is just unnecessary memory consumption. A memory leak occurs when the program loses the ability to free the memory. A memory leak diminishes the performance of the computer, as it becomes unable to use all its available memory.
