Why is Java not 100 percent platform independent?
AnswerJava is platform independent while JVM is platform dependent. In Java ,you can compile code in to class file and you can run it in any OS without altering your code.But for interpreting class to bytes we need JVM .so it act as a bridge between your class file and OS. Now a days JVM is available for all OS.So Java attains platform independent.AnswerDepending on your definitions, no language may be truly platform independent. A language like Java needs a virtual machine to run the platform independent bytecode. But this virtual machine must run natively on a given physical machine, which means that the JVM in platform dependent. If someone tells you that Java is not completely platform independent, this is probably what they are referring to.
