Bytekódot

Bytekódot is a term often used in programming contexts, generally referring to a set of instructions that are executed by a virtual machine or interpreter. It is not a specific programming language itself, but rather an intermediate representation that is produced by a compiler from a higher-level source code. This intermediate code is then processed by another program, the virtual machine or interpreter, to perform the actual operations.

The concept of bytekódot allows for platform independence. Once source code is compiled into bytekódot, it can be run on any system that has a compatible virtual machine installed, regardless of the underlying hardware architecture or operating system. This is a key advantage for applications that need to be widely distributed.

Examples of systems that utilize bytekódot include Java, which compiles Java source code into Java bytecode, and Python, which compiles Python source code into Python bytecode. In these cases, the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and Python interpreter, respectively, are responsible for executing the generated bytekódot. The bytekódot itself is typically a series of numerical codes, often referred to as "bytes," which represent low-level operations.
