- foxfluff 5y ago> The word "portable" means a subset of everything possible. Exactly; for example, C has single precision and double double precision floating point, 64 bit types, and complex arithmetic because every CPU architecture has those built-in.
- nec4b 5y agoNo, but those things can be easily emulated on every hardware or simply not used. One more reason to use C instead of plain assembly.
