What does Java byte code look like?

Question

On the Wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_bytecode#Instructions it says Java byte code looks like this:

0:   iconst_2
1:   istore_1
2:   iload_1
3:   sipush  1000
6:   if_icmpge       44
9:   iconst_2
10:  istore_2
11:  iload_2
12:  iload_1
13:  if_icmpge       31

I thought that Java byte code was executed like a series of integers in hexadecimal or binary?

Answer 1

What Wikipedia shows is the "assembly language" for a JVM. Not the "machine code" for a JVM.
