Where can you get a good programming application that runs on a mac but is like Visual Basic?

Mac OS X comes with the Xcode developers tools with multiple programming languages - C, Java, Python, Ruby etc. Depending what you are trying to achieve then AppleScript (also included with the Mac OS) is an option. Real Basic is probably the nearest thing to Visual Basic as it does allow VB code to be imported directly. The pro version creates cross-platform applications which can be distributed for Macs and Windows. Another option is Revolution. This is a versatile programming language which can generate applications for Macs. Windows and Linux. See links below for details of these.


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.


Why was C programming invented?

Writing operating systems like Unix/Linux and a large part of Windows 3.1 (not sure about later versions of Windows) although some of Windows 3.X was done in Pascal. Most of the Operating systems used these days are developed using C. Actually the kernel of the OS is written in C and kernel is the base of any OS


What programming language can create an operating system?

Any. As long as a language has the programming structures to access memory directly (DMA, IO ports, IRQ) AND it can be compiled (isn't run at a command interpretor) it can be used to create an operating system: the more general the language, the more platforms that OS can run on i.e. Binary/Machine Language is extremely hardware specific, Assembler less so, C (and Pascal and Fortran) even less so, C++/Smalltalk/Eiffel the least. An OS doens't have to be 50 quintillion lines of code; the original Linux kernel and a few Gnu utilities ran on one floppy disk (1.44 meg), DOS 5 was 3 floppy disks, Windows 95 took about 150 meg on a CD, Windows NT about 300meg on CD, and so on. As each version of operating system grows in features, so does it storage footprint.


Does every programming language have a compiler?

Operating systems (OSs) are precompiled into low-level executable code that can operate efficiently. An OS distribution might include one or more language compilers, but they aren't needed to run the OS.

What is c operating system?

C is not an operating system, but a programming language. An OS is a piece of software that sits between other software and hardware, facilitating communication between applications and devices, in an uniform way. A programming language is a set of rules, like the English grammar. Any text that satisfies the rules can be compiled, resulting in a piece of software that can then be run in an OS. C is such a programming language, popular for systems and other low level programming. It is notorious for its portability (you can write code in C and compile it for many OS's), flexibility and degree of control offered to programmer. Also notable is the fact that many OS's are originally written in C or it's off-shoot C++.
