Line 1:
The '''Java Virtual Machine''' or '''JVM''' interprets [[Java]] [[byte code]] (compiled Java code) and runs the program. JVM's have been created for many different [[platform|platforms]], which gives Java its platform-independent nature. It manages memory usage via a [[garbage collection|garbage collector]]. It also manages concurrent [[thread|threads]] (the programmer can attempt to control certain threads, though).
