Can you explain how automatic object release works with AutoreleasePool?

AutoreleasePool is a memory management mechanism in Objective-C and Swift that simplifies object release. When an object is created with the autorelease method, it is placed into the current autorelease pool. This pool accumulates such objects and releases them all at once when the pool is destroyed.

How it works:

• An AutoreleasePool is created at the beginning of an event loop (for example, in the main thread).
• All objects sent with autorelease are added to this pool.
• When the loop ends, the pool is drained, calling release on all objects inside.

This avoids the need to manually call release on each object and helps manage the lifetime of objects, especially temporary ones.

Example in code:

@autoreleasepool {
    NSString *tempString = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"Hello, %@!", @"World"];
    // tempString will be automatically released when exiting the block
}

In Swift, the autoreleasepool block is used similarly to manage memory when working with Objective-C objects.
