Questions 1:- Why java program is platform
independent ? Why not C and C++ program ?
Answer:- When we compile
c source data, it generate the “native code” which can be understood by current operating System, if Move to this
to other operating System. It cannot be understood because ” Native code
representation is change from operating system to operating system”. So, C and
C++ Program is not platform independent.
In case of java source
code, compilation you will get “ byte code firstly instead of native code”.
When you run the byte code, it will be converted to native code and then it
will be executed. But native code generated from the byte code is temporary and
will not be stored in any file. If you want to run the java program in other
operating system, just move the byte code and run again. When you run your byte
code will be converted to native code again and will be executed. So, Java
Program is platform independent.
Question 2:- What is JDK ?
Answer:- JDK stands for Java
Development Kit which contains tools to compile and run a java program.
Question 3:- What is JVM ?
Answer:-JVM is java run
time environment which provides the necessary supports to run over java
program.
Question 4:- What is Java Compile ?
Answer:- Java Compiler
is single non java program which is used to verify the programmatically
mistake in the source code and also convert the source code to bytecode.
Question 5:- What is Interpreter ?
Answer:- Java
interpreter is single non java program which is used to convert byte code to
native code and also to execute native code.
Question 6:- What is JIT compiler ?
Answer:- JIT is the part of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that is used to speed up the execution time. JIT compiles parts of the byte code that have similar functionality at the same time, and hence reduces the amount of time needed for compilation. Here the term “compiler” refers to a translator from the instruction set of a Java virtual machine (JVM) to the instruction set of a specific CPU.
Question 7:- Which of the following statements
are true ?
1. Java
compiler is platform independent . (False)
2. Java
interpreter is platform dependent. (True)
3. Java
program is platform independent. (True)
4. JVM
is platform dependent. (True)
5. C
program is platform independent. (False)
6. JDK
platform dependent. (True)
7. JIT
compiler is platform dependent. (True)
Question 8:- Why we have to set the path ?
Answer:- We need to set the path for executable file
to access anywhere with in the operating system drives and folder. Similarly
with class path same.
Question 9:- Why we need to use % path
% in the path setting.
Answer:- This is to
append the current path to the existing path. If we are not using %path % then
existing path will be replaced with new path. Similarly class path same.
Path sets for bin folder where .exe files available.
Class path sets
for lib folder where jar file available.
