It is compiled but not to code that can run on a CPU (machine code) -
unless you have a high-level architecture which is uncommon in consumer
CPUs.
The compiled code, Java's bytecode, runs in a virtual machine that
interprets that code.
Compare this to C where C does not generate bytecode but rather machine
code for a specific platform and executes that (on the CPU).
