| In Java, the source program is first compiled that generates BYTE CODE which is common for all platform. The Byte code is given to JVM (Interpreter) each platform has its own JVM. which converts byte code into machine language that can be understood by the particular machine only. Once the machine having JVM it can run any java program. In C, C++ the source program directly compiled into machine code, which is platform dependent. |
