Chapter 1, Problem 12SA
Why does byte code make Java a portable language?
Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution
Byte code:
Java program is the high-level language. So, java compiler is used to compile the java program (high-level language) into java bytecode (standard machine code).
- Bytecode program runs on any machine that has a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) interpreter.
- The JVM (Java Virtual Machine) interpreter is designed to execute the bytecode program produced by the compiler.
- The interpreter takes the bytecode to convert the machine code and executes it.
- Unlike machine language code, byte code is same for all the computers which have JVM in it. Hence, Java program is easily portable.
