Standard Library HandlingThe language defines a set of standard library functions. When a parser processes a program, it is supposed to locate a file containing the standard library definitions and prepend them to the text of the program. Usually a parser will look in both the current working directory and some operating system dependent global data directory. What the above means is that function definitions from the standard library always take precedence over definitions from the program itself. Interpreters and compilers may have switches to turn off the standard library and it is not considered an error when no standard library file can be found. In this case a program has to define all functions that it uses. < The Main Function | Syntax | Syntactic Sugar for Constructors > |
