Hi guys, I'm so curious about definitions on the programming language.
for example int char long in ..bla bla bla , is it necessary for PC or for compiler? I just want to know that thing to get more view on how PC works .
I think it's concrete to the compiler which by the definitions the compiler tells the PC how to manipulate things over the program I've written.
Well, they've finally done it; the folks at Cern have managed to scramble the fabric of space and time, because I vividly remember an alternate reality wherein RyanC was banned for spewing out nonsense.
Paraphrasing the title of the 1939 classic, I guess that's all Gone with the wind...
++Mandela_Effect;
printf("I'm a %s.\n", strrev("Dren"));
Not sure if serious, sounds like you're not, but for anyone reading, here's a basic introduction to C data types: C Data Types
I know there's C data types, but is it for compiler definition or PC definition for recognizing it?Originally Posted by catacombs
Your CPU doesn't give a damn about which programming language you chose.
Hell, you can choose two different compilers, where int is 32-bits on one, and 64-bits on the other, and it would carry on just the same.
So long as your program itself couldn't care less about 32 vs 64 bits, it would even give you the same answer.
You know, you really need to pull your head out of this hole you've created for yourself regarding what your 'PC' seems to think about things.
It doesn't.
It's a stupid box, following simple rules, which YOU defined.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
The definitions are for the compiler to translate to machine code. Systems might vary slightly on how to handle, say, extremely complex double-precision numbers.
The computer runs the machine code. The toolchain produces the machine code.
Toolchain means compiler/linker and related software.

thanks alot, all is fine now !
thanks
