- Platform Independent:
A platform is the hardware or software environment in which a program runs.                           There are two types of platforms software-based and hardware-based. Java                         provides the software-based platform. The Java platform differs from most other                         platforms in the sense that it's a software-based platform that runs on top of other                   hardware-based platforms.It has two components:
1. Runtime Environment,   2. API(Application Programming Interface)
