"compies to bit" - is that a typo, a joke, or is that really what she said? You have me curious.

Java compiles to bytecode meaning that what you get when you compile a java program is not understandably by any computer. There is an intermediary, the Java run time Environment, that relays signals from the program to the computer. This allows for easy cross platform compatibilty, but comes with an overhead.

p.s. compies to bit should have read compiles to bytecode. oopsie!
