What is the purpose of the Runtime class?

Comment

The purpose of the Runtime class is to provide access to the Java

Runtime system. This class provides certain important methods like:

1. Runtime.freeMemory() – This method returns the value of

free memory in JVM

2. Runtime.maxMemory() - This method returns the value of

maximum memory that JVM can use.

3. Runtime.gc() – This method can invoke garbage collection.

public class RuntimeTest {
   static class Message extends Thread {
      public void run() {
         System.out.println(" Exit");
      }
   }
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      try {
         Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Message());
         System.out.println(" Program Started...");
         System.out.println(" Wait for 5 seconds...");
         Thread.sleep(5000);
         System.out.println(" Program Ended...");
      } catch(Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
      }
   }
}
