:I guess the intention was something like "built-in scalar type." I think the difference lies between a type, which operations are defined by a single (primitive?) types algebra construct like '''int T''' in C++, and a full-blown user-defined type produced by another types algebra construct like '''class T {}''' of same C++. Personally, I don't see any great difference between them, but the task creator probably did. He could also add a pile of secondary thoughts about value vs. reference semantics of "primitive" and "non-primitive" types, he probably had (which, to me, would have no sense at all).

:: After posting my Fortran code, I've got another look at Java, and discovered that the only Java code issue is not the fact that it "uses" a class: it does the same the C++ code, with the difference that C++ allows operator overloading, Java does not. The real issue with Java is that it really does not accomplish the task... (2+2¢ makes 4, day by day we can become reach:D) --[[User:ShinTakezou|ShinTakezou]] 18:13, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
