In [[object-oriented programming]], the '''dispose pattern''' is a [[design pattern (computer science)|design pattern]] for [[resource management (computing)|resource management]]. In this pattern, a [[system resource|resource]] is held by an [[object (computing)|object]], and released by calling a [[method (computer science)|method]] – usually called <code>close</code>, <code>dispose</code>, <code>free</code>, <code>release</code>, or similar – which releases any resources the object is holding onto. Many languages offer language constructs to avoid having to call the dispose method explicitly in common situations.
