P-code machine

Okay kiddo, the p-code machine is like a super smart computer that can understand special instructions that are written in a special code called "p-code". It's kind of like a secret language that only the p-code machine can understand.

So, when a person writes a computer program, the program needs to be translated into something the computer can understand. That's where the p-code machine comes in - it takes the p-code instructions and turns them into something the computer can actually execute.

Just like how you need to know how to read and follow instructions in a recipe to make a cake, the p-code machine needs to know how to read and follow the p-code instructions to make the computer program work correctly.

It's like a translator between the program and the computer itself. It takes the hard work out of understanding what the program means and makes sure everything runs smoothly.
