a swing, when used properly, converts uppercase to lowercase.

your reference to cricket's inswing and outswing, is the code name given to AWT.

underarm, overarm, well, that refers to SWT.

Now, if all this sinks in, feel free to bowl a maiden over.

"arr gem", welcome to the ranch. Please take a few moments to read the Javaranch naming policy. After reading the policy, you can change your name here. We try to be friendly around here but we do have our rules, and not following the naming policy can result in having your account deleted.

Please also Keep It Down and refrain from using all uppercase.

Now, I'm going to move this gem from Swing over to Meaningless Drivel...

Hi Arr!

I think Michael misunderstood you post.. I'll try to answer your questions
one by one.

CAN I KNOW WHAT IS A SWING & WHAT IS ITS USE?
Ofcause you can! A swing is to hit at something with a sweeping
motion of the arm. You can use swings for many things; burglars, thiefs,
thugs, annoying siblings (just kidding).. you name it.

IS IT ANYWAY RELATED TO THE INSWING,OUTSWING OR REVERSESWING OF CRICKET.
Yes, inswing and outswing are two variants of the normal swing.
"Reverseswing of cricket" sounds nasty - I dont know that one, but it
sounds like a special move of some kind.

...CAN'T WE MANAGE WITHOUT A SWING?
I dont think so.. after all, it takes 43 muscles to frown, but it only
takes 4 muscles to extent my arm a punch you in the face


Hope it helped!

Scott, that's Swing dancing? Wow, it looks like what I did many years back Rock'n'Roll dancing.

Anyhow, 3 blocks away from my apartment is a Swinger Club, though I think it's fair to assume that doesn't fall under the OPs questions. Nor, probably, is the excellent movie Swingers.
