Both Java and C++ are efficient programming languages that use object-oriented programming(OOPs) paradigm. Java follows OOPs more than C++. Both support OOPs features like:
- Classes
- Objects
- Polymorphism
- Encapsulation
- Abstraction
- Abstraction
In this article, we are going to discuss the platform independence of Java and why C++ is not supporting platform independency.
Before knowing why java is platform independent let’s have some brief about compiler phases:
We have heard that java is developed to eliminate the various drawbacks of C, C++. Although Java has mostly inherited its syntax from C++ and some major features as well. Java is preferred in almost all major organizations because it supports “code once, runs anywhere” made it platform-independent and easy to use and upgrade.
Before knowing why java is platform independent let’s have some brief about compiler phases:
Semantic Analyser:
Interpret symbols, their types, and their relations with each other.
Intermediate Code Generation:
In the analysis-synthesis model of a compiler, the front end of a compiler translates a source program into an independent intermediate code.
Code Optimizer:
It transforms the code and tries to improve the code by making it consume fewer resources (i.e. CPU, Memory) and deliver high speed.
Target Code Generation:
Use the optimized intermediate code and generates target code or machine code on which machine can operate easily.

Where do we use Java or C++:
Java:
- Use java where you have a large codebase to handle.
- Where you are integrating your application software to multiple platforms use java.
- Where you have a great extension plan for your application software.
C++:
- Where you need to interact with memory very often.
- You need to create the OS for your organization.
