Question

why is java platform independent

Answer 1

With Java, you can compile source code on Windows and the compiled code (bytecode to be precise) can be executed (interpreted) on any platform running a JVM. So yes you need a JVM but the JVM can run any compiled code, the compiled code is platform independent.



If u have homework do this

Answer 2

• Java is platform independent. Because the Java compiler converts the source code to bytecode, which is Intermidiate Language. Bytecode can be executed on any platform (OS) using JVM Java Virtual Machine.
