Question 7

How does the Java programming language address the quality characteristic of portability?

Accepted Answer

The Java programming language addresses this issue by compiling into bytecode, which is a low-level language that is not the machine language for any particular CPU. Bytecode runs on a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which is software that interprets the bytecode and executes it. Therefore, at least theoretically, any system that has a JVM can execute any Java program.
