JDK, JRE and JVM

LESSON 2

Learn the difference between the Java Development Kit, Java Runtime Environment and Java Virtual Machine.

Java Code

Study the example and understand what each part does.

JAVA

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("JDK = Java Development Kit");
        System.out.println("JRE = Java Runtime Environment");
        System.out.println("JVM = Java Virtual Machine");
    }
}

Java code normally runs using the Java Development Kit on a computer, Android Studio or another Java development environment. This course page presents the code examples without pretending that the browser is running Java directly.

Expected Output / Result

JDK = Java Development Kit
JRE = Java Runtime Environment
JVM = Java Virtual Machine
