Which provides runtime environment for java byte code to be executed?JDKJVMJREJAVAC

JVM (Java Virtual Machine) provides the runtime environment for Java byte code to be executed.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

1. Java code is written in a .java file.
2. This code is then compiled by the Java compiler (JAVAC) into bytecode, which is stored in a .class file.
3. The JVM then loads and executes this bytecode. It interprets the bytecode into machine language instructions for the specific computer hardware it is running on.
4. The JVM also provides additional functionality such as garbage collection and memory management.

So, while JDK (Java Development Kit) and JRE (Java Runtime Environment) are important components of Java's execution process, it's the JVM that directly provides the runtime environment for Java bytecode.
