Does Scala Require Jdk

Note that you do need a JDK for development (that is, to compile you Scala code into Java bytecode).

What JDK does Scala use?

JDK 8, 11, and 17 are all good choices both for compiling and running Scala code. Since the JVM is normally backwards compatible, it is usually safe to use a newer JVM for running your code than the one it was compiled on, especially if you are not using JVM features designated “experimental” or “unsafe”.

Does Scala use JVM?

Scala is compiled into Java Byte Code which is executed by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). This means that Scala and Java have a common runtime platform.
