ANSWER:

Platform independence means executing a code irrespective of the Operating System on which it is being executed.

Java is called a platform independent language because

# The output of the JAVA compiler is bytecode which is not directly executable. # the bytecode is then interpreted by the JVM on respective OS. The bytecode generated after compilation can be executed on any machine with any OS with the help of JVM.

e.g. U write a simple java program ("samp.java") and compile it, u get a "samp.class" file after compiling without any errors, now you can execute this program on windows OS or Linux or Macintosh which generates the same output and runs fine on all OS.
