What is the JVM?

JVM is the Java virtual machine that runs a Java program.

JVM stands for Java Virtual Machine. It is an abstract computing machine that provides a platform-independent environment for executing Java code. The JVM is responsible for interpreting compiled Java code and executing the appropriate instructions on the host machine. It also manages memory allocation, garbage collection, and other low-level details of the Java execution environment. The JVM provides a common environment for executing Java code, regardless of the underlying hardware or operating system, enabling Java to be portable across different platforms.
