Java Virtual Machine (JVM)

The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is a part of the Java programming environment that enables computers to run Java applications. It acts like an interpreter, translating Java code into instructions that the machine can understand, allowing the same program to run on any device that has a JVM, regardless of its underlying operating system. This "write once, run anywhere" feature makes Java versatile. The JVM also manages system resources, facilitates garbage collection to free up memory, and enhances security by running code in a controlled environment. Overall, it ensures efficient and reliable execution of Java applications.
