You should use your CS master skills to read the first line of the "Compiler" article in Wikipedia [1]

> In computing, a compiler is a computer program that translates computer code written in one programming language (the source language) into another language (the target language).

And maybe also the second line. JVM bytecode is an object code as referenced there.
