1. In java class loading is nothing but moving or transforming a class file from secondary memory (Hard Disk) to primary memory(RAM).
2. The work of transforming a class file a secondary memory to primary memory will be taken care by a class loader.
3. In case of c and cpp programming there is a compiler a linker and a loader.
4. Compiler creates .obj file, linker creates .exe file and finally a loader loads exe file into RAM for execution.
5. In case of java, there is only a compiler and loader, but there is no linker so there is no exe file is generated at the time of computing and executing a java programming.
