It can work on various hardware configuration . C doesnt require mandatory or same set of hardware to run program. A program can written on one comp. And can run on other comp.(machine)

Well very debatable topic. All languages are finally converted to machine language. So it can run on any machine. But remember c is not portable in the sense if you have compile a c code say on UNIX it cannot work on Windows and even across same os flavours. So let's not say it's independent or so.

It means, C programming language can be used to write a program on any operating system like windows,linux etc as simple as that. Other thing to note here is the C program is not platform independent.

C is not complete portable language.You need to modify a little or not at all to run on another platform. So C is partial portable language while Java language is complete portable as you can write once and run anywhere.

If you write a C program in a computer, then the code written for that computer will be same for the other computer too.

C is just a language, it is not machine independent because the compilers that you use for C is very much machine dependent. To make you understand in a simple manner - When a japanese person comes to India , he may need a Indian translator (may be to hindi) and when the same person goes to Chine, he may need another translator for chinese. Here the translators are like compilers. Hence the platform like x86 or ARM hardwares will need a different type of C compiler. It is job of compilers to make it machine oriented and as a language it can be never be machine oriented or independent. The same feature is called portability because most C programs can be cross-compiled for different platforms - x86 or ARM etc. Read more about cross-compilation , you can use code blocks on windows to do so. read less

C is machine independent means source code written on one machine can be run on different machines. Also C can be used on different platforms.

Before going to answer the above question, we need to understand what machine independent language and portability means. Machine Independent language is a programming language that runs of different number of computer platform regardless of their component that means Windows, Linux, Mac ans so on. Machine Independent language is high level programming language that allows programmers to use words and symbols closer to human language to code software. Portability means any application/software develop in one platform can also work in another platform with little or without modification. It is an another form of re-usability. Coming back to the answer- C compilers are readily available for the majority of operating systems like Windows, Linux, Mac etc, which in turn makes C programs are very portable and machine independent. It means, user can write a program at one platform/machine and compile/re-compile at on different-different platform/machine to use/re-use it. read less

IS C machine independent Programming Language? Answer is yes and No. Where C is using processor/Controller specific addresses only this portion is machine dependent. All other code is Machine independent. Is C portable? Yes to an extent but not completely. Where controller specific code is used, this code is not portable. Other portion is possible when porting on to equivalent target. When some one is developing a large application, if you manage to port 50% from the existing software, imagine the time and cost one is saving. This is the advantage. read less
