Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is a virtual machine that runs Java bytecode. The JVM reads and executes Java bytecode by interpreting it, which means it's capable of executing compiled Java programs.
Why JVM Is Important
It allows developers to write code in Java without needing to compile it every time.
It provides a runtime environment for executing Java applications.
It supports different operating systems through its platform-independent nature.
How JVM Works
The JVM consists of several components:
Class Loader: Loads classes into memory.
Runtime Memory: Stores objects and method executions.
Execution Engine: Executes the bytecodes.
JVM Features
Supports multiple programming languages (Java, C++, etc.).
