In every programmer’s journey, the legendary “Hello World!” program excuses no one. So I wrote, compiled, then disassembled it. public class Hello { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello World!"); } } I fired up a hex editor to analyze the bytecode’s disassembly. This part contains the headers, class name and the superclass being extended . This is how a JDK 1.5-compiled bytecode looks. .bytecode 49.0 .source "Hello.java" .class public Hello .super java/lang/Object By default, a constructor is generated. Check that it constructs itself as an object of type ‘Object’ naturally because Java classes extend the ‘Object’ class. Here we have shown that a constructor is just a method. .method public ()V .limit stack 1 .limit locals 1 .line 1 aload_0 ; met001_slot000 invokespecial java/lang/Object. ()V return .end method Here’s the main method. .method...
