Bytecode

Bytecode is like a secret language that computers understand. It is like a special code made up of numbers and letters that the computer can read and know what to do for the program or website. It is like a set of instructions that the computer can follow step by step to get the desired outcome. For example, if it's a website, the bytecode might tell the computer to show pictures, show text, and link to other websites. All the code helps the computer understand what the person visiting the website wants to do.
