Usually it would result in printing to standard output the number 2.

main(){ int a,b; a=a+b; b=a-b; a=a-b;}maybe.... copy-paste solves my typing problem.

Grathmeld gets it on simplicity.I'll just write one to check Earandil's answer. I'll also have to think of a new question. That shouldn't take too long.Well after looking at what earandil's does. It's pretty much the same.Points to both.---------------------SCOREBOARD----------------------polopbob- 38 ptsChannel28- 26 ptstedsb16-14 ptskoolj-13 ptsgrathmeld-13 ptsEarendril- 11 ptsanaiira-10 ptsheadingnorth- 7 ptsAuzzie-5 ptsLord fence-5 ptsRakole-4ptsdrackofdarks-4 ptsmonomer-3 ptsWinternut- 2ptsTerrance Jones- 2ptssodiumx-2 ptskakymbro-1ptHuntoxx-1 ptJamzemu-1 ptQ.

Probably different for different versions, but for mine, there are a few ways. You could go to the Control Panel, go to Appearance and Personalization and go to Adjust Screen Resolution under that. In there, there is a drop down menu where you can select which one you want.Also, you can just right click on your desktop and go directly to the Adjust Screen Resolution from there.

I think I'll wait for more descriptive answers.I generally use the classic theme and I have specified that I was using it in the first post. I guess I should add a link to it in my posts but I'm a bit lazy.So- I leave it open for another answer.

How can you possibly be any more descriptive? You're just opening menus and stuff. There's literally nothing more I can say about how I change the resolution on my computer.

I believe that one was named mentioned.But another way, which is practically similar to those named, since there aren't really that many ways is through your graphical card control panel or manager. which is right click, then most of the time there is a section for screen resolution.or double click, then depending on the control panel you got, one of the first thing you'd see is the screen resolution.And i'd even recall that some monitors support direct screen resolution adjustment, but I'm not really sure bout this one.

open control panel (Make sure it's on classic view) then click on display, click on the settings tab, then move the slider on the screen resolution bit.

Cache keeps stored info to reuse at another point in time, internet cache is it stores websites you visit, every picture, word, etc. So when you are in Offline mode you can still visit a site but it will be with old data, it will not be the latest version, it will be when you visited it last.

Each time you visit a Web site, your browser is capable of storing a copy of the pages you visit on your hard drive. This is called "caching." Most browsers, by default, store these pages automatically. The reason they store the pages on your hard drive is that, in theory, when you revisit a Web site, the page on that site will load faster if it is called up from your local machine rather than waiting for the page from the server.

Ping, basically, as far as I know the time between the data send from your provider to the server your trying to reach, a.k.a. the site your going to, and the amount of time it takes for that server's data to reach your ip-adress.

Ping is a command used mainly to test connectivity in any network, be it physical or in software level. The most basic use is to test the network card by doing a ping to localhost.The ping packet is a control protocol packet which sends a bunch of random data (consecutive characters in unix) and expects a reply from the server. Then, it can also inform the round trip time (including processing time of packet).
