RE: what is platform independent?why java is called so...
 
Platform independent means "write once run anywhere".Java is called so because it can run on any machine having the java core independent of the platform.Platform dependent is just the opposite of platform independent.The source code has to be modified according to the platform.C and C++ are so called because it's code has to be changed concerning the machine.
