What is Java?
Java is a high-level, object-oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems.

What are the features of Java?


Platform-independent, Object-oriented, Secure, Robust, Multithreaded, High performance.

Explain JVM, JRE, and JDK.


JVM runs Java bytecode. JRE = JVM + libraries. JDK = JRE + development tools.

Difference between JDK and JRE.


JDK includes JRE plus development tools. JRE is just to run Java programs.

What is bytecode?
Bytecode is the intermediate code generated by the Java compiler, executed by JVM.

Why is Java platform-independent?


Because Java bytecode runs on JVM, which is available for all platforms.

What are identifiers and literals?


Identifiers are names (like variables), literals are constant values (like 10, 'A').

What are access modifiers in Java?


They define access scope: public, private, protected, default.

Difference between while and do-while loops.


while checks before loop, do-while checks after execution.

What is a for-each loop?
