The job of the compiler is to turn your java code into language that the Java Virtual Machine (<term>JVM</term>) can understand.

We call the code that the JVM understands <term>byte code</term>.

JVM is a <term>bytecode</term> interpreter that allows Java programs to run on any platform without having to modify them.

The JVM interprets the byte code much like the Python interpreter interprets your Python.
