Detailed explanation-1: -Bytecode is an intermediate form of code that is executed by a virtual machine, rather than the computer’s hardware.
Detailed explanation-2: -Intermediate code generator receives input from its predecessor phase, semantic analyzer, in the form of an annotated syntax tree. That syntax tree then can be converted into a linear representation, e.g., postfix notation. Intermediate code tends to be machine independent code.
Detailed explanation-3: -It is a Java Virtual Machine. The compiler generates machine code for a specific scheme in other programming languages. However, for a virtual machine known as Java Virtual Machine, Java compiler generates code. Bytecode is an intermediate code between the host system and the source code of Java.
