Platform independent means the execution of the program is not restricted by the type of os environment provided...thereby make it possible to process the program at any type of environement available. Java is a platform independent language becoz of the bytecode magic of java. In java when we execute the source code...it generates the .class file comprising the bytecodes. Bytecodes are easily interpreted by JVM which is available with every type of OS we install. Whereas C and C++ are complied languages which makes them platform dependent. The source code written in C / C++ gets transformed into an object code which is machine and OS dependent. That's the reason why C and C++ languages are termed as Platform Dependent. ===================== Herman Miller| Herman Miller Chairs

Yes, very good discussion. I wasn't familiar with why Java was platform independent, but the concept is quite interesting. Cheers my friend!

In java when we execute the source code. . . it generates the . class file comprising the bytecodes. Bytecodes are easily interpreted by JVM which is available with every type of OS we install. . thereby make it possible to process the program at any type of environement available.

Thanks for the Post you have very well explained that.
So C and C++ is known as compiled language and java is known as Compiled And Interpreted Language,all the magic lies in the ByteCode of Java

C and C++ are platform dependency languages hence the application programs written in one Operating system cannot run in any other Operating system, but in platform independence language like Java application programs written in one Operating system can able to run on any Operating system

Simple answer is any platform in run any language it's called platform independent. Also, Platform independent means the process in which the ceratin language is capable of running on all types of operating system.

platform independent is Software that can run on any hardware platform (PC, Mac, SunSparc, etc.) or software platform (Linux, MacOS, Unix, Windows, etc.)..
programs written in Java language can be executed on practically every platform so java is called platform independent........

Platform independence means if you have been developed one application in window platform then it is also capable to run on linux or macintosh. Means developed on one os and run on anyone.
Java is called so because it is the only language where you have to used compiler and interpreter. Because of interpreter java is platform independent language.

We can say that java is platform independent because irrespective of the operating system the compiled code of a program executed.
