Greetings,

I tried both programs on my MacBook Pro:

1) simpe while loop in C

int main() {

int i = 0;

while(1)

i++;

return 0;

}

2) Simple while loop in Java:

class While {

public static void main (String[] args) {

int i= 0;

while (true) {

i++;

}

The first one used 576.00 KB of RAM, 1 Thread and the second one USED 7.63MB, 10 Threads.

Why? Is it the JVM? Why are there 10 Threads?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Majd Kokaly
