Can i run java programmes without any platform?

Question

As java is platform independent language.... Is it executable on notepad, if so can i make an apk or exe file by writing it on notepad?

Answer 1

Platform independent means that a code can run on different platforms, but not without a platform. Java Runtime Environment is still required to run a Java program, and the Java Development Kit is required to compile and create Java programs. It is platform independent in the sense that the same piece of code can be written and compiled on different platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac) without being re-written to suit a specific platform.
