Java Virtual Machine

• Java is compiled to Java bytecode, not machine language

• Java bytecode is similar to machine code except that it is meant for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM)

• The JVM is an interpreter of Java bytecode (i.e. it runs Java programs)

Java Virtual Machine

• Machine language must be specific to a processor, so programs written in most languages must be recompiled to run on different processors

• The same compiled Java program can run on any computer that can run the correct version of the JVM
