In this article, I'm gonna to give a brief about platform dependency in the C language, and why C applications are run on a single platform. Platform Dependency in C Language Whenever we install C software, depending on the operating system we need to download and installed it. Let say we want to install C on Windows and Mac operating system. Windows understands .exe and MAC understands .dmg file. We also know that every application is a standalone application including programming languages. So, all the programming languages are stand-alone applications only. So, we need to download and installed it based on the operating system. Whenever we install C, Compiler (to compile the application and generate machine code) + Library (to develop application) will be installed in the system. The Windows compiler will work for the Windows operating system only and the MAC compiler will work only for MAC operating system.
