List of Java bytecode instructions

This is a list of the instructions that make up the Java bytecode, an abstract machine language that is ultimately executed by the Java virtual machine.[1] The Java bytecode is generated from languages running on the Java Platform, most notably the Java programming language.

Note that any referenced "value" refers to a 32-bit int as per the Java instruction set.
