Answer
Bytecode verification ensures code correctness and memory safety.
Before executing bytecode, the JVM verifies it to prevent illegal operations like accessing invalid memory. This process ensures that the code adheres to the Java security model, preventing errors or malicious activities. For example, bytecode verification checks method signatures and ensures correct stack operations.
