Answer from AI
The memory area in a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is divided into several main parts:
-
Heap — an area for dynamic object allocation. All objects and arrays created during program execution are stored here. Managed by the garbage collector.
-
Stack — a stack is created for each thread, where method call frames, local variables, and intermediate data are stored.
-
Method Area — stores class data, static variables, constants, method information, and bytecode.
-
Program Counter (PC) Register — a register that points to the current instruction being executed in the bytecode for each thread.
-
Native Method Stack — a stack for calls to native (non-Java) methods.
These areas provide data isolation and memory management in the JVM.
