platform-independent due to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

Q: What is the difference between JDK, JRE, and JVM?

A: JDK is for development, includes JRE and compiler. JRE is for running Java apps. JVM interprets bytecode into

machine code.

Q: What are the features of Java?

A: Platform Independent, Object-Oriented, Secure, Robust, Multithreaded, High Performance.

Q: What is a Class and Object in Java?

A: Class is a blueprint; Object is an instance of the class.

JDK vs JRE Role

Q: Which makes Java code run - JDK or JRE?

A: JDK compiles Java code using javac into bytecode (.class).

JRE runs the bytecode using JVM.

JDK = development (write+compile+run), JRE = runtime (only run).
