JVM is Platform dependent b'coz if JVM is not loaded in the platform then we can't run program. For every platform need to upload JVM. ArrayList is faster than Array b'coz ArraList is not Synchronized and they directly take parameter, less complcated and easy.

JVM is platform dependent. Just think u don' t use a unique jdk for each operating system. You have different versions of jdk for different platform. So each version creates each different JVM for different platform. But JVM converts the byte code , is platform independent.Array is faster than ArrayList. Because ArrayList can take different type of objects as parameter. by Array is only one type of datatype. ArrayList may faster if u use generics.

Yes, JAVA is platform independent.

jvm platform dependent,it is developed in other languages,arraylist faster than array

JVM is PI.Byte code is a highly optimized set of instructions. JVM is an interpreter for byte code. Translating a java program into byte code helps makes it much easier to run a program in a wide variety of environment.JVM is an interpreter for byte codeJRE is an implementation of the Java Virtual Machine, which actually executes Java programs.

The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is an executable that is itself is platform dependent: that is, there is a unique JVM that must be implemented for any particular platform to which it is deployed.

The JVM creates an environment that can load and run Java code. The JVM environment itself is platform independent for any Java code that is run under its auspices.

2) The answer here depends entirely on what one does with the ArrayList or Array. Since the ArrayList is a derived Collection object, and an Array is an ordered array of primitive types on might expect operations on an Array to complete more quickly than operations using the "fatter" interface of the ArrayList -- all other factors being equal.

JVM is platform independent. But installation has provided for different OS. You can check this by debugging code in Windows and linux platform.

And ArrayList is faster because Array List is a growable elements. You no need to allocate memory for each element. Where as you need to define it for Array.

JVM is not platform Independant. There are different JVM's available for different platform. But the application from JVM are platform independant.

Array will be faster because of contiguous memory location.array list is implemented using list ,memory utilization is high but not faster.

ArrayList can grow and shrink dynamically, at runtime. Arrays cannot. Once you define an array at compile time, it stays the same size forever. The trade off is that arrays can be faster,

JVM is platform dependent B'coz it generates byte code which is depend on the platform. There are different versions available for ubuntu, fedora or windows like platforms

Arrays are efficient, but many times we need to use arrayList because it offers more flexible ways to access an object and unlike arrays it can expand and contract dynamically and for faster sorting, for accessing name value pairs etc.

JVM implementation platform dependent. however the behavior of JVM should be platform independent. This can be achieved by obeying the JVM Spec defined by the Sun.

Java is platform independent, JVM is not. It is unique for every OS.

JVM is platform dependent, each OS has its own JVM version. What makes JAVA platform independent is this platform dependent JVM. This JVM helps the intermediately compiled JAVA code(bytecode) to run on any machine which makes JAVA platform independent. We can understand it as, when the JAVA code is compiled i.e converted to a bytecode it is converted to that extent where it can run on any platform. After that this portable code can be taken to any OS where the JVM helps it to run
