Answer from AI
The main memory areas within the JVM include:
- Heap — an area for storing objects and arrays, managed by the garbage collector.
- Stack — stores call frames, local variables, and parameters.
- Method Area — stores class metadata, static variables, and constants.
- Program Counter (PC) Register — holds the address of the current instruction being executed.
- Native Method Stack — used for calling native methods (e.g., in C/C++).
These areas support JVM operation, memory management, and bytecode execution.
