In the previous example, I compiled and ran prog11 on a Solaris machine. Java is designed to be platform independent or portable. To show that it could be run on a different platform, I copied the prog11.class file to a Windows 7 machine in binary mode. Then I ran it there as follows:
C:\Java>dir
Volume in drive C is System
Volume Serial Number is B068-444A
Directory of C:\Java
04/29/2013 05:37 PM <DIR> .
04/29/2013 05:37 PM <DIR> ..
04/29/2013 05:36 PM 717 prog11.class
1 File(s) 717 bytes
2 Dir(s) 204,152,512,512 bytes free
C:\Java>java prog11
a = 100
b = 100
C:\Java>
