OFF-TOPIC What is Foo ??

[HH Khan]

THIS IS OFF-TOPIC Foo - derived from foobar or, fubar  (f.... up beyond all repair) Officially found in a lot of examples since the Unix/C books were first written by Richie & Kernighan (AT&T).  At the same time,  the 'Hello, world' example came into vogue. -khan     Arnaud D wrote: What is the term Foo ???I see it all over the place, in most examples : setFoo() getFoo(), Foo.class , import java.foo.* ?? Is it a generic term used in examples like someone would say MyClass or myMethod ?Or am I just passing next to a very important concept ?? This might be a stupid question, but hey, like you never said anything dumb !! Thanx for answering me, not knowing won't make me a worse programmer (?) nor an insomniac, but i don't want to die ignoring this! Regards, Arnaud D
