Best Answer

ANY computer program affects the hardware. Running software is what computer hardware is designed for. If by "affect" you mean "damage", it's very unlikely that an application program may harm the hardware except for very rare cases in which running a software could "stress" the hardware up to damaging it; but this would only occur with poorly designed or defective hardware anyway. Poorly designed low level software such as firmware or device driver might damage to their devices as well, but this is something beyond the average user's control and is related to bad design or implementation as well.

What will be if java program is being shifted from 64 bit machine to 32 bit machine?

A Java program should run on any platform (hardware + operating system) for which a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is installed. Unlike the "C" language, the size of data items in Java does not depend on the platform; for example, an int will always have a size of 32 bits, no matter how the underlying computer hardware is organized.A Java program should run on any platform (hardware + operating system) for which a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is installed.
