RE: What is heap in Java

JAVA is fully Object oriented language. It has two phases first one is Compilation phase and second one is interpratation phase. The Compilation phase convert the java file to class file (byte code is only readable format of JVM) than Intepratation phase interorate the class file line by line and give the proper result.
