Loaded in RAM
I was reading a Java text book the other day and it said something to effect that programs are loaded into RAM (temporary storage) from the hard drive (permanent storage). Yep, I'm still in the first chapter
 My question is how much of a program is loaded into RAM? Is it just the compiled code, the executable? Thanks,

It depends on how the program is written. For simple programs, the entire program is loaded into memory. However, more complex programs typically load pieces of code located in external libraries as they need to use them.

So a more complex program would load itself and its most basic/necessary libaries and then load and off load additional libraries as needed?
Thanks, Cirerrek |
