Bytecode

Bytecode is a type of intermediate language used in programming that acts as a bridge between high-level code (like Python or Java) and machine-specific instructions your computer's hardware understands. It is a set of standardized instructions that allows programs to run on different devices without needing to be rewritten for each one. When you run a program, this bytecode is processed by a virtual machine or interpreter, making the code portable and easier to execute efficiently across various systems. Essentially, bytecode streamlines the execution process, enabling software to be both flexible and platform-independent.
