Answer
Byte Code & JVM
Reason — Java's platform independence is due to Bytecode and JVM:
- Bytecode — Java programs are compiled into an intermediate code called Bytecode using the Java compiler. Bytecode is platform-independent and can run on any machine.
- Java Virtual Machine (JVM): — The JVM is platform-specific software that interprets or compiles Bytecode into native machine code for the underlying operating system. This allows the same Bytecode to run on any platform making Java platform independent.
