Native Functions meaning?

Question

What "Native functions" means or refers to, in a programming language?

I am reading the book "Crafting Interpreters" by Robert Nystrom where he has a list on Github with all Lox's implementations that other readers have done in other languages. I saw that one of that list says that it does not have native functions and I would like to know what it means about that?

Probably refers to http://craftinginterpreters.com/calls-and-functions.html#native-functions — UnholySheep, Jan 06 '22 at 19:15
Thank you very much! @UnholySheep I haven't gotten to that part of the book yet, however, I finally understood what Native functions mean. — Melvin Guerrero, Jan 07 '22 at 00:00
