What are the types of memory in JVM

Question

I am new to Java and I am finding it difficult to understand where are all the different variables are stored? Is there any special type of memory? if yes can someone help me with the different types of it?

Answer 1

The different types of Memory in JVM are as follows:

Method area : All class level information like class name, are stored, including static variables.

Heap area : Information of all objects is stored in heap area.

Stack area : JVM create one run-time stack for all the functions which is stored here.

PC Registers : Stores the address of current execution instruction of a thread.

Native method stacks : Separate native stack is created for every thread and it stores native information.
