=={{Anchor|SIS}}Software instruction sets==

Opcodes can be found in [[bytecode]]s and other representations intended for execution by a software interpreter rather than a hardware device. These software-based instruction sets often employ slightly higher-level data types and operations than most hardware counterparts but are nevertheless constructed along similar lines. Examples include the byte code found in [[Java class file]]s, which are interpreted by the [[Java virtual machine|Java Virtual Machine]] (JVM)s, the byte code used in [[GNU Emacs]] for compiled [[Lisp (programming language)|Lisp]] code, and NET [[Common Intermediate Language]] (CIL).<ref name="bytecode"/>
