What does it mean to say that Java is interpreted?
Ans : Several implementations of the Java Virtual Machine, including the JDK (1.0.2 and 1.1), interpret compiled Java code (virtual machine instructions)for each instruction, the virtual machine carries out the specified behavior before reading the next instruction. Java technology uses both compilation and interpretation. Compilation is the process of translating content (such as code) from one language to another, and storing the results of that translation for later use. Many well-known programming languages, such as C, Pascal, and Fortran, are usually compiled straight from source code to native machine code. In contrast, the Java programming language is compiled into Java class files, which contain architecture-independent instructions for the Java Virtual Machine Interpretation also involves translating code from one language to another, except you directly execute the translation instead of storing it. Languages (or language families) such as Lisp and Basic are typically interpr
