- Thanks :) Your answer is very informative , but I am unable to understand clearly . CAn you give some examples (probably with C/C++/Java) .progammer– progammer2012-03-14 15:14:48 +00:00Commented Mar 14, 2012 at 15:14
- @Mason Wheeler This is where we use the term loose typing and strong typing. As i have heard people saying that VB is a loosely typed language while Java is a strongly typed one. Please confirm.Maxood– Maxood2012-03-14 16:03:11 +00:00Commented Mar 14, 2012 at 16:03
- 3@Appy C++ ships with classes for strings, vectors, and maps. These are built-in they come with the language, are in the language definition etc. However they are written in C++ they come from the standard library. You could write your own that behaves identically. Compare this to an int or a char. You can't define your own char in C++. You could overload every operator on a class and get something that behaves similarly but not identically. This is a primitive. Basically something defined in a language that is not implementable in that language.stonemetal– stonemetal2012-03-15 14:51:11 +00:00Commented Mar 15, 2012 at 14:51

How to Format
- create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~ ```
like so
``` - add language identifier to highlight code ```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**
- indent code by 4 spaces
- backtick escapes
`like _so_` - quote by placing > at start of line
- to make links (use https whenever possible) <https://example.com>[example](https://example.com)<a href="https://example.com">example</a>
How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
