It’s my understanding that the Java compiler produces “byte code”, not “object code”. First of all, is this correct?
Also, that’s just what my book says, I was wondering why this is correct. What is the difference between byte code and object code?
Byte code is just the “object code” for the Java Virtual Machine. It’s not native code (e.g. x86). To be honest, I rarely hear the term “object code” these days – it’s generally clearer to talk in more specific terms.
