    Difference between JRE, JVM, and JDK
    By Jhumki Barat

    Now, this article lays a foundation to learn the internals of a JVM. To do that first we need to understand JRE, JVM and JDK and their differences. Once you are done click here to learn the internal details of JVM

    JVM:-
    Firstly JVM stands for Java Virtual Machine. Secondly, JVM is an abstract machine i.e. it doesn't exist in reality. It is just an abstract concept. It is the detailed description of the design and materials which provides a runtime environment to run the java bytecode.
    Funny fact, we all know java is a platform independent programming language. But do you know that JVM, JRE, and JDK are platform dependent? The reason is pretty clear. we said that JVM gives a specification (detailed description of the design and materials) for the runtime environment to run the java bytecode. But the specification changes from one Operating System to another. Now to make Java a platform-independent programming language this step had to be taken. Otherwise, say for example JRE, JVM and JDK were built only for Linux systems. Then windows user could never run a java application. Then, in that case, Java would not be platform independent.
    Now coming back to JVM, it's main four functions are:-
    Loads code
    Verifies code
    executes code
    Provides runtime environment


    JRE:-
    JRE stands for Java Runtime Environment. It is sometimes also called Java RTE. It is basically an implementation of JVM. Unlike JVM it physically exists.
    The Java Runtime Environment is a set of software tools that are extensively used to make Java Applications of various types. It is mainly used to provide the running environment commonly known as runtime environment.JRE consists of JVM, some libraries and some external miscellaneous files that are needed by the JVM to run the application. The schematic block diagram of JRE is given below.

    JRE is released by Sun Microsystems
    JDK:-
    JDK is short for Java Development Kit. JDK is a software development environment which is used to make various java applications. JDK is basically development tools added on to JRE.
    JDK is the implementation of either of the following platforms released by Oracle Corporation.
    SE(Standard Edition) Java Platform
    EE(Enterprise Edition) Java Platform
    ME(Micro Edition) Java Platform
    The scheme of JDK is given below.

    Thus we can conclude that JVM is the heart of everything. Therefore it is important to learn the details of JVM.

The Java Program Execution Procedure

The Mystery of Java Program Execution By ANONYO SANYAL Now, this blog is in JAVA programming language, probably the most used programming language in real life scenarios. Java is an Object Oriented Programming Language which makes it perfect for the development of applications. It finds it's application in small music players to the android application that you run in your smartphones. To know more about Java please go through these .  You might know very well the hello world program in java. If not, it is given below. class Simple{  public static void main(String args[]){  System.out.println("Hello World");  }  } The output of this code is the message "Hello World". Now the question is how the heck is it executed. What happens when we compile the code? During compilation, the code is fed to the compiler which converts the code into instructions which the computer can understand. In Java, the machine code is known as Bytecode. ...

How to achieve Artificial Intlligence?

How to Achieve Intelligence? By ANONYO SANYAL In an earlier post , we saw the Turing test , and how we define intelligence. It's time to dig deeper into achieving intelligence. Here we must be aware of the fact that Turing test actually is an operational definition of intelligence. Operational definition means a definition which is not merely a theory . It speaks of some tasks, you need to perform and some steps or operation to determine the nature of an item. Thus the term operational definition comes hand in hand with the Turing test as it helps us to determine the intelligence(nature) of a computer(item). PIC.Turing Test Diagram Source:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test#/media/File:Turing_test_diagram.png Thus Turing defined intelligent behavior as an ability to achieve human-level performance to fool an interrogator. As in the figure above which we got from Wikipedia, we see there are three objects, A is a computer, B is a Human, C is a Huma...
