This class represents a chunk of Java byte code contained in a method. It is instantiated by the Attribute.readAttribute() method. A Code attribute contains informations about operand stack, local variables, byte code and the exceptions handled within this method. This attribute has attributes itself, namely LineNumberTable which is used for debugging purposes and LocalVariableTable which contains information about the local variables.
