Intermediate code: Intermediate code, also known as intermediate language or bytecode, is a low-level, abstract code that a compiler generates from source code as an intermediary step before machine code. It allows for optimization and can be executed by a virtual machine, aiding in cross-platform compatibility. For example, Java compilers convert source code into Java bytecode, which the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) can execute on any platform.
