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.
