"free" memory
-
I was wondering what kind of memory I use when I, for example, declare a new variable... Is it Ram, or disk swap? Do I have any control over that? Can I find out how much free memory a system has? Thanks, Andrei Matei andreimatei@home.ro

When you declare a variable it gets created in RAM. If your available RAM is low then the system might swap some stuff to disk in order to free up some RAM, but even in that case your variable would stil reside in RAM. As far as I know you really don't have much control over that.
