Elaborating JVM


Java Virtual Machine : A Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is a set of computer software programs and data structures which use a virtual machine model for the execution of other computer programs and scripts. The model used by a JVM accepts a form of computer intermediate language commonly referred to as Java bytecode. This language conceptually represents the instruction set of a stack-oriented, capability architecture.
Java Virtual Machines operate on Java bytecode, which is normally (but not necessarily) generated from Java source code; a JVM can also be used to implement programming languages other than Java. For example, Ada source code can be compiled to Java bytecode, which may then be executed by a JVM. JVMs can also be released by other companies besides Sun (the developer of Java) -- JVMs using the "Java" trademark may be developed by other companies as long as they adhere to the JVM specification published by Sun (and related contractual obligations).



The JVM is a crucial component of the Java Platform. Because JVMs are available for many hardware and software platforms, Java can be both middleware and a platform in its own right — hence the expression "write once, run anywhere." The use of the same bytecode for all platforms allows Java to be described as "compile once, run anywhere", as opposed to "write once, compile anywhere", which describes cross-platform compiled languages. The JVM also enables such unique features as Automated Exception Handling which provides 'root-cause' debugging information for every software error (exception) independent of the source code.

 The JVM is distributed along with a set of standard class libraries which implement the Java API (Application Programming Interface). The virtual machine and API have to be consistent with each other and are therefore bundled together as the Java Runtime Environment.

Putimage function in c

putimage function outputs a bit image onto the screen. Declaration:- void putimage(int left, int top, void *ptr, int op); putimage puts the bit image previously saved with getimage back onto the screen, with the upper left corner of the image placed at (left, top). ptr points to the area in memory where the source image is stored. The op argument specifies a operator that controls how the color for each destination pixel on screen is computed, based on pixel already on screen and the corresponding source pixel in memory. c smiling face animation This animation using c draws a smiling face which appears at random position on screen. See output below the code, it will help you in understanding the code easily. C programming code #include<graphics.h> #include<conio.h> #include<stdlib.h>   main() { int gd = DETECT, gm, area, temp1, temp2, left = 25, top = 75; void *p;   initgraph(&gd,&gm,"C:\\TC\\BGI");   setcolor(YELLOW)...

C++ Program to find the sum, difference, product and quotient of two integers

#include <iostream.h> #include <conio.h> void main() {   clrscr();   int x = 10;   int y = 2;   int sum, difference, product, quotient;   sum = x + y;   difference = x - y;   product = x * y;   quotient = x / y;   cout << "The sum of " << x << " & " << y << " is " << sum << "." << endl;   cout << "The difference of " << x << " & " << "y <<  is " << difference << "." << endl;   cout << "The product of " << x << " & " << y << " is " << product << "." << endl;   cout << "The quotient of " << x << " & " << y << " is " << quotient << "." << endl;   getch(); }

What are selection statements in C++ ? If and Switch

There are several statements that we can use in C++ programming that help in choosing a set of instructions for using the code depending upon an expression truth value.  What are Selection Statements in C++? As mentioned above there are several statements that we can use to choose a set of pre-defined instructions within a program in any section of the program as per the need. These are called selection statements in C++  In C++ Program there are two types of Selection statements  1. If  2. Switch  The If Statement of C++ To understand "if statement" let's look at an example.  Example - If you have 10 rupees then you can buy the chocolate.  Here, there is a condition in buying chocolate, if you have 10 rupees then only you can buy it.  This shows that the If is a condition which can be true or false, If it is false it won't be executed, in this example, if you don't have 10 rupees i.e. the condition is false you cant buy the chocolate.  So, I...
