    The document discusses the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), Java Runtime Environment (JRE), and Java Development Kit (JDK). The JVM is an abstract machine that provides a runtime environment to execute Java bytecode and is platform-dependent. The JRE contains the libraries and files needed to run a JVM and is an implementation of the JVM. The JDK contains the JRE plus development tools like compilers and is used to develop Java programs.

    JVM

    JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is an abstract machine. It is a specification that provides runtime
    environment in which java bytecode can be executed.

    JVMs are available for many hardware and software platforms. JVM, JRE and JDK are platform
    dependent because configuration of each OS differs. But, Java is platform independent.

    The JVM performs following main tasks:

    o Loads code

    o Verifies code

    o Executes code

    o Provides runtime environment

    JRE
    JRE is an acronym for Java Runtime Environment.It is used to provide runtime environment.It
    is the implementation of JVM. It physically exists. It contains set of libraries + other files that
    JVM uses at runtime.

    Implementation of JVMs are also actively released by other companies besides Sun Micro
    Systems.
    JDK
    JDK is an acronym for Java Development Kit.It physically exists.It contains JRE +
    development tools.

    Data Types in Java


    Data types represent the different values to be stored in the variable. In java, there are two
    types of data types:

    o Primitive data types

    o Non-primitive data types


    Data Type Default Value Default size

    boolean false 1 bit

    char '\u0000' 2 byte

    byte 0 1 byte

    short 0 2 byte

    int 0 4 byte

    long 0L 8 byte

    float 0.0f 4 byte

    double 0.0d 8 byte


    JVM(Java Virtual Machine): JVM is an abstract computing (virtual) machine. It provides a

    platform- independent way of executing codes. If you are a java programmer, you can
    concentrate on writing software, without having to be concerned with how and where it will run.

    We all know that when we compile a Java file, we get the output as a '.class' file not an 'exe'. A

    '.class' file contains Java Byte codes which are executed by Java Virtual Machine. Java Virtual

    Machine interprets the byte code into the machine code depending on underlying operating

    system and hardware combination. JVM is platform dependent and responsible for garbage
    collection, array bound checking etc.

    JDK (Java Development Kit): JDK is a container of tools which are needed to develop java

    programs. It is an acronym stands for Java development kit. It contains JRE and development

    tools where JRE is used to run the program. JDK facilitates a java programmer to write java
    applets and application.

    JDK contains the tools like:

    compiler (javac.exe), java application launcher (java.exe), Appletviewer etc.

    Compiler: It converts java code into byte code.

    Java application launcher: It is used to open a JRE, load the class and invoke its main method.

    JRE (Java Runtime Environment): JRE is an acronym which stands for Java Runtime
    Environment. When the Java programming language was invented, it was not supported by all

    operating systems so there was a need of Java Runtime Environment which make able to run
    java applets and application after installing on your computer.

    The JRE is developed by Sun Microsystems. It includes the JVM, code library and necessary
    components used to run java program.
