CHAPTER 1
41. Assertion: Object-oriented programming (OOP) emphasizes the concept of objects and
classes as fundamental units for structuring code.
Reason: OOP facilitates better code organization by encapsulating data and methods within
objects.
42. Assertion: Java source code is human-readable code written by developers to create Java
programs.
Reason: Java source code is written in plain text using Java syntax and conventions. It
contains instructions understandable to programmers and serves as the input to the Java
compiler, which translates it into bytecode.
43. Assertion: Bytecode is an intermediate representation of Java code generated during the
compilation process.
Reason: When Java source code is compiled, it is translated by the Java compiler into
bytecode.

44. Assertion: Object code is the machine-readable code generated by the Java compiler
directly from Java source code.
Reason: Unlike many other programming languages, Java does not generate traditional
object code directly from the source code.
45. Assertion: The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is an integral part of the Java platform
responsible for executing Java bytecode.
Reason: The JVM is a virtual machine that interprets or just-in-time (JIT) compiles bytecode
into machine code, allowing Java programs to run on any device or platform that has a
compatible JVM installed. Assertion 5: The Java compilation process involves translating
Java source code into bytecode.
