This is a simple program to test various features of the JVM to ensure that it provides a suitable environment for Java programs. This includes:

• Array indexing beyond its bounds
• Creates a super class and its sub class and then accesses public, private and protected variables and over-ridden methods.
• Checks if the JVM makes unwarranted assumptions about non-final methods. There is a class and a sub-class, which implement a method differently so if the JVM uses the implementation in the super-class, you get the wrong result.
• A suite of tests called PepTest where a set of tests is executed to test the following aspects: if-then-else execution, array operations, bitwise operators, for loops, division, etc.
