My understanding on this question is as : Java compiler converts Source code to bytecode and JIT(Just-in-time) compiler converts bytecode to instructions that would be intepreted by the processor.

Can anyone please let me know better answer for this?

  • What do you mean by *"better answer"*? Also strictly speaking a language on it's own is rarely truly "interpreted" or "compiled", you could write a pure Java interpreter - In fact there are compilers that will transform Java code to machine code (e.g.: GCJ) – UnholySheep Jun 12 '17 at 07:13
  • java is both compiled and interpreted. – Ursache Jun 12 '17 at 07:14

  • It's both. Java is compiled language however `bytecode` is interpreted. Refer to this link https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/getStarted/intro/definition.html – 11thdimension Jun 12 '17 at 07:25

Java bytecode is generally interpreted by the Virtual Machine. JIT compiler is an enhancement to improve emulation.
