In Java, "bytecode" is the name given to the compiled class files. The "compilation" in this case is not for a specific processor, but rather for a kind of fictional processor - and it is meant to be run by a Java Virtual Machine.

What executes Bytecode?
An Interpreter
How do you recognize bytecode files?
you have to hack into the mainframe
How many bytes does a Java VM have?
A JVM, or Java Virtual Machine, creates the environment in which programs that run using Java bytecode are processed. It does not itself possess bytes or bytecode.
Why you use assembler?
Assemblers are used to convert a specific assembly language into bytecode.

Does the bytecode is different for every processor?
No, Java bytecode, just like the source code, is universal. The only parts that changes between different architectures are the Java Runtime Environment and its sub-components (such as the Java Virtual Machine).
Where does bytecode come from java?
It is created by the Java compiler, based on the source code (the .java file).
Why java has compiler and interpreter both?
Java is both compiled and interpreted language.First Java source code has to be translated into Byte code, which is done with the help of a compiler.But these byte codes are not machine instructions. Therefore ,in second stage this byte code has to be translated into machine code.This task is performed by an Interpreter.Hence, Java use both compiler and interpreter.
What do you get when you compile a java program?
The java interpreter or JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is not able to execute the java source code for a program. The java source code first needs to be compiled into bytecode that can be processed by JVM. Producing bytecode make the program platform independent as each platform has its own JVM. It is also possible to directly write bytecode, bypassing the need to compile, but that would be tedious job and also not good for security purpose as the compiler checks for various errors in a program.
Is MSIL similar to java byte code?
Yes, in some way it's similar. One difference is that Java Bytecode is typically interpreted by the virtual machine, while MSIL is JIT-compiled to native machine code before executing. However, it is increasingly common for bytecode to be compiled as well.
What is byte code and native code?
native code is machine code each machine has its won set of istruction one machine's native code won't run on another While bytecode is what java produces and it can run on any machine. when we run bytecode it first get to compile to machine code and then get to run.
Why java interpreted?
Java is both compiled and interpreted. At first, the Java source code (in .java files) is compiled into the so-called Bytecode (.class files). The Bytecode is a pre-compiled, platform independent version of your program. The .class files can be used on any operating system. When the Java application is started, the Bytecode is interpreted by the Java Virtual Mashine. Because the Bytecode is pre-compiled, Java does not have the disadvantages of classical interpreted languages, like BASIC.
