Why Java is a platform independent language?

Answer Posted / guest

One of the key reasons Java technology is useful in a
networked environment is that Java makes it possible to
create binary executables that will run unchanged on
multiple platforms. This is important in a networked
environment because networks usually interconnect many
different kinds of computers and devices. In a typical
enterprise environment, for example, a network might
connect Macintoshes in the art department, UNIX
workstations in engineering, and PCs running Windows
everywhere else. Although this arrangement enables various
kinds of computers and devices within the company to share
data, it requires a great deal of administration. Such a
network presents a system administrator with the task of
keeping different platform-specific editions of programs up
to date on many different kinds of computers. Programs that
can run without change on any networked computer,
regardless of the computer's type, make the system
administrator's job simpler, especially if those programs
can actually be delivered across the network.
