Bridging C++ to Java: Understanding JVM and Compilation

This lecture introduces the foundational concepts of Module 1, focusing on a comparative analysis of C++ and Java. Students will explore the compilation processes of C++ (native machine code) versus Java (bytecode) and their implications for platform dependency and portability. The role of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is discussed, highlighting platform-specific implementations and Just-In-Time optimizations. By contrasting input methods, execution workflows, and portability, students will...
