Is jvm a compiler or an interpreter?..

Answer / Tejender Singh

The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is not a compiler nor an interpreter, but it works in conjunction with both. The Java Compiler translates the source code written in Java into bytecode (class files). The JVM is responsible for interpreting these class files and converting them into machine-specific instructions that can be executed by the computer.
