For example, if you can do something on a small database (say less than 1000 records), a program that is highly scalable would work well on a small set as well as working well on a large set (say millions, or billions of records).
What does portability mean in the context of programming? Portability means writing your program (code) in such a way that the same code works on different environments i.e. different processors, different operating systems, â¦ different versions of libraries etc. If your program is portable, you should be able to just re-compile it on any new system and it should run without problems. Portability is important because non-portable code causes lots of problems in maintenance - managing multiple versions, poor readability / understandability of the code to name a few.
