Portability is when you write code that caters for different platforms like using C/C++ with preprocessor logic to build for a specific platform. Platform independent is when your code remains the same and something else takes care of the different platforms. Examples of this is the Java Virtual Machine, .

What is platform and platform independent?

A platform-independent model (PIM) in software engineering is

a model of a software system or business system that is independent of the specific technological platform used to implement it

. The term platform-independent model is most frequently used in the context of the model-driven architecture approach.

Why is C++ not platform independent?

Actually C++ is not a platform dependent, but

the output it produces is in .exe or other format which is depend on the platform you are using
