A Software Engineer was asked
Q. Why is Java platform independent?
Ans. 

Java is platform independent due to its ability to run on any device with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

  • Java code is compiled into bytecode, which is platform-independent.

  • The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) interprets bytecode for the specific platform.

  • This allows Java applications to run on any operating system that has a JVM.

  • For example, a Java program written on Windows can run on Linux or macOS without modification.
