Answer 2

Bytecode is a set of instructions that are understood by the JVM .

JVM is an abstract machine designed to be implemented on top of existing processors .

It helps to convert the given code in JAVA to bytecode and then we can intrepret the code for a given platform by using an interpreter .

This interpreter is called JVM .

Now the Bytecode is independent of hardware .
