Is Java a platform-independent programming language?

Yes, Java is a platform-independent programming language. This is achieved through the "Write Once, Run Anywhere" (WORA) concept.

How it works:

• Java source code is compiled into bytecode, which is independent of the specific hardware platform.
• The bytecode is executed on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which is implemented for various operating systems and hardware architectures.

Thus, the same bytecode can run on Windows, Linux, macOS, and other platforms without changes.
