Java – Is binary code the same as ByteCode?

The answer depends on what you mean by binary code.

Java bytecode is a binary data format that includes loading information and execution instructions for the Java virtual machine. In that sense, Java bytecode is a special kind of binary code.

When you use the term “binary code” to mean machine instructions for a real processors architecture (like IA-32 or Sparc) then it is different.
Java bytecode is not a binary code in that sense. It is not processor-specific.
