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.

A double field named health, representing the fighter's health points (HP). An int field named weaponType, representing the type of weapon the fighter is using. This value is used to rank different weapon types: higher values indicate higher weapon ranks. -An int field named attackDamage, representing the fighter's attack power.
