(Or "primitive") A built-in function or operator is oneprovided by the lowest level of a language implementation.This usually means it is not possible (or efficient) toexpress it in the language itself. Typical examples are thebasic arithmetic and Boolean operators (in C syntax: +, -,*, /, %, !, &&, ||), bit manipulation operators (~, &, |, ^)and I/O primitives. Other common functions may be provided inlibraries but are not built-in if they are written in thelanguage being implemented.
