Why java is platform independent ?

• Code in other languages is first translated by a compiler into instructions for a specific type
of computer.

• The Java compiler instead turns code into something called Bytecode, which is then
interpreted by software called the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), or the Java virtual
machine.

• The JRE acts as a virtual computer that interprets Bytecode and translates it for the host
computer. Because of this, Java code can be written the same way for many platforms
(“write once, run anywhere”).
