This seems to have nothing to do with Application Frameworks -which is what this forum is about-, so I'll move it to a more appropriate place.

Android apps – ImageJ plugins – Java web charts

What is the difference between an elephant and a cup of tea? They are that different.

There are two kinds of casting: primitive where you change the type and maybe value of a number, and class casting where you reming the JVM which type (class) a variable is.

Parsing means going through some text (String, file, etc) and working out what its different parts (words, tokens, etc) mean.

Q: What's the difference between a chiropodist and a drummer?

A: One bucks up the feet and the other ... (well, you work it out)

Sorry, but this is a silly thread anyway.

Betty Rubble? Well, I would go with Betty... but I'd be thinking of Wilma.<br /> <br />#:^P
