===== 3.5 Frames ===== Java Card virtual machine **//frames//** are very similar to those defined for the Java virtual machine. Each frame has a set of local variables and an operand stack. Frames also contain a reference to a constant pool, but since all constant pools for all classes in a package are merged, the reference is to the constant pool for the current class' package. Each frame also includes a reference to the context in which the current method is executing.
