Java is platform independent because after compiling
the .java file is converted to .class file. this .class
file is byte code which is platform independent...

Answer / liza
Java compiler compiles the .java file(source code) by
generating the .class file comprising the bytecodes.
Bytecodes are platform independent and can be executed in a
system where JVM is installed.
JVM interpretes bytecodes into machine code depending upon
the underlying OS and H/W combination.
JVM provides a machine interface that does not depend on the
underlying OS and machine H/W architecture, thus making JAVA
as platform independent.
This makes java program as write-once run-anywhere.Only we
need to install compatible JVM, bcoz JVM is platform dependent.

Answer / vandana mahali
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 environment 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.

Answer / subbu
The moto of java is WRITE ONCE AND AND RUN ANY WHERE.
ie., once we write the java application we can run in any
operating systems.So, it is called platform independent.
