Java cont…
• Java programming language consists
– Java compiler: Java compiler translates Java coding into byte-code – Java virtual machine(JVM) Java virtual machine interprets this byte-code and runs the program – Java class libraries Java Class Library is a set of dynamically loadable libraries that Java applications can call at run time
