Best Answer

Windows 7 supports programs written in any language, including C and C++. However, the question is whether these programs support Windows 7 or not. If they were written for another platform entirely, such as the Apple Mac, then obviously they won't be supported.

Note that neither the C nor C++ languages, by themselves, support any particular operating systems, but they are generic enough to be able to create console applications that can run on most platforms without major modification. But in order to target a specific platform you need the appropriate headers and libraries for that platform. These are generally provided by your integrated development environment (IDE) of which there are many to choose from for each platform. In order to cater for multiple platforms code must be written specifically for each platform (using precompiler directives to filter out unwanted code) and must be compiled separately upon each supported platform.

Yes. C and C++ are both general purpose programming languages. They are not specific to any one platform.

Is platform independent feature means java can be run on windows XP and windows 7 but c or c plus plus does not?

No. The term platform independence in Java does not mean that any other programming language cannot be run in multiple OS platforms. Actually platform independence means that the java code can be run in multiple platforms with little or no customization. The code that can execute in a Windows platform can run as it is in a Linux box, whereas other programming languages need to be customized based on the platform they will be implemented in.

How do you run c and c plus plus program in edit plus?

EditPlus is a plain-text editor. You use it to edit plain text, just as you would with Windows Notepad, albeit with a lot more features such as syntax highlighting. It cannot be used to run C and C++ programs directly, however you can integrate a 3rd-party compiler. I don't use EditPlus myself, but the documentation should tell you how to go about integrating your compiler.
