Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
#

๐ŸŽฏ What is JVM?
#

  • Runtime environment for Java bytecode
  • Platform-specific (Windows, Linux, macOS)
  • Converts bytecode to machine code
  • Manages memory automatically

๐Ÿ”ง Key Components
#

  • Class Loader - Loads .class files
  • Bytecode Verifier - Security checks
  • Interpreter - Executes bytecode
  • JIT Compiler - Optimizes performance

๐Ÿ’ก Key Point: JVM makes Java platform independent!

layout: default
#

Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
#

๐ŸŽฏ What is JRE?
#

  • Runtime environment for Java applications
  • Includes JVM + Java libraries
  • Required to run Java programs
  • Cannot compile Java source code

๐Ÿ“ฆ JRE Components
#

  • JVM - Virtual machine
  • Core Libraries - java.lang, java.util, etc.
  • Supporting Files - Property files, resources
  • Browser Plugins - For applets (deprecated)

๐Ÿ” Real-World Analogy

JRE is like a media player - it can play video files (.mp4) but cannot create them. Similarly, JRE can run Java programs (.class) but cannot compile them.


layout: default
#

Java Development Kit (JDK)
#

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ What is JDK?
#

  • Complete development platform
  • Includes JRE + development tools
  • Required for development
  • Free and open source

๐Ÿ“‹ JDK Versions
#

  • Java 8 - LTS (Long Term Support)
  • Java 11 - LTS
  • Java 17 - LTS (Current)
  • Java 21 - Latest LTS

๐Ÿ”ง Development Tools
#

  • javac - Java compiler
  • java - Java interpreter
  • javadoc - Documentation generator
  • jar - Archive tool
  • jdb - Debugger
  • javap - Class file disassembler
๐Ÿ’ผ For Developers: Always install JDK, not just JRE, for development work!

Bytecode Concept
#

sequenceDiagram
    participant SC as Source Code<br/>(.java)
    participant JC as Java Compiler<br/>(javac)
    participant BC as Bytecode<br/>(.class)
    participant JVM as Java Virtual Machine
    participant MC as Machine Code

    SC->>JC: HelloWorld.java
    JC->>BC: HelloWorld.class
    Note over BC: Platform Independent<br/>Intermediate Code
    BC->>JVM: Load bytecode
    JVM->>MC: Convert to native code
    Note over MC: Platform Specific<br/>Executable Code

โœ… Advantages

  • โ€ข Platform independence
  • โ€ข Security verification
  • โ€ข Optimized execution
  • โ€ข Compact representation

โš ๏ธ Characteristics

  • โ€ข Not human-readable
  • โ€ข Machine-independent
  • โ€ข JVM-specific format
  • โ€ข .class file extension

layout: default
#

Garbage Collection
#

๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ What is Garbage Collection?
#

  • Automatic memory management
  • Removes unused objects
  • Prevents memory leaks
  • Runs in background

๐Ÿ”„ GC Process
#

  1. Mark - Identify unused objects
  2. Sweep - Remove unused objects
  3. Compact - Defragment memory

โŒ Syntax Errors
#

// Missing semicolon
System.out.println("Hello World")

// Mismatched braces
public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello");
    // Missing closing brace

โŒ Common Mistakes
#

// Wrong class name
public class hello {  // Should be Hello
    // ...
}

// Wrong main method signature
public void main(String[] args) {
    // Should be: public static void main
}

// Case sensitivity

Java Memory Management Deep Dive
#

๐Ÿง  Memory Areas
#

Heap Memory
#

  • Young Generation - New objects
  • Old Generation - Long-lived objects
  • Metaspace - Class metadata (Java 8+)

Non-Heap Memory
#

  • Method Area - Class-level data
  • Code Cache - Compiled native code
  • Direct Memory - NIO buffers

๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ Garbage Collection Types
#

Serial GC
#

  • Single-threaded
  • Good for small applications

Parallel GC
#

  • Multi-threaded
  • Default for server applications

G1GC
#

  • Low-latency collector
  • Good for large heap sizes

ZGC/Shenandoah
#

  • Ultra-low latency
  • Concurrent collection
โšก Performance Tip: Monitor heap usage with `jconsole` or `jvisualvm` tools!

layout: default
#

Advanced JVM Features
#

๐Ÿš€ Just-In-Time (JIT) Compilation
#

  • Interpretation - Initial execution
  • C1 Compiler - Client compiler (fast compilation)
  • C2 Compiler - Server compiler (aggressive optimization)
  • Tiered Compilation - Best of both worlds
  • Profile-Guided Optimization - Runtime feedback
  • Method Inlining - Eliminate method call overhead

๐Ÿ”ง JVM Tuning Parameters
