In software engineering, code transforms from human-readable high-level languages like Python or Java into machine-readable binary (machine code). An intermediate step, bytecode, bridges ...

Compilers for languages intended to be machine-independent, such as Java, Python, or C#, translate the source code into byte code for a virtual machine, which is then run in an interpreter for the ...

This code can be run from RAM, EEPROM, or even external storage like an SD card. Recently there was a supplemental compiler project that even takes Python code and compiles it into VM byte-code.
