Java is architecturally neutral, meaning programs written in Java can run on any platform. Java runs on a hypothetical computer called the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) which allows the same Java bytecode to run on any device. Java's "Write once, run anywhere" (WORA) slogan refers to its ability to work across multiple platforms due to its architectural neutrality and use of bytecode run on the JVM rather than directly on hardware.

1. • Java is architecturally neutral
which means that a program
written with Java will run on any
platform
• Java runs on a hypothetical
computer known as Java virtual
Machine ( JVM)

2. • “ Write once, run anywhere” (
WORA) is Sun Microsystems
slogan for Java’s ability to
work on multiple platforms.
• Java compiler product
generates bytecodes, a format
to transport code to multiple

3. • Creating a Java Application requires the
use of an Integrated Development
Environment ( IDE) such as j Grasp or
Eclipse.
• Within the IDE commands are typed in
using Java language rules.

4. • The same Java programming
language bytes code will run
on any platform.
• There are no data type
incompatibilities across
hardware and software
architectures.

5. • Java provides platform
portability because of its
architectural neutrality.
• Java does not run on the
machine itself but instead it
runs on the JVM which works
with a variety of machines.
