What exactly is meant by saying Java is platform independent?


This is one of the basic questions that is often used to trick freshers/students during their technical interview/viva: If one needs different compiler for different platforms, then how come Java is said to be purely platform independent.

The answer is straighforward - Only "Java Language" is platform independent; JVM, JRE etc. are dependent on Operating System.
