That "Construction" in the title. I thought it was wrong. I have never came across a book or website where using constructors in programming is mentioned as "Construction".

Sorry for the late reply, Inactive due to exams.

I'll tell an incident of mince. When I was purchasing my PC, I asked the shopkeeper that what is the difference between Intel and AMD CPUs. He replied- "no difference". I know the fault was mine :p

My friend said please give me your second graphic card. I asked why? He said that my laptop do not have a graphic card so I want to use your card to play games on my laptop.

when I went to purchase a TV, one of the salesguys (probably representative of toshiba ) tried to sell me a toshiba tv based on the oly fact that it supported playing of 40 diff. file formats... somewhere along the conversation he thoroughly explained to me that there was no diffrence between a 720p and a 1080p.. had to avoid him for the rest of the visit.

what he meant was viewing a 720 movie and 1080p movie at a certain distance closes the gap between the two.. Still, a 1080p display is much much superior than 720p

Mm.he might be true but O.P was dead set on 1080 p.Actually ,difference in 720p and 1080 p is not noticeable viewed at a certain distance.Also pixel density might not be the only factor that makes something superior,I have seen 720p fujitsu displays perform as good as 1080p,than 720p entry level samsungs,lgs etc(via my eyes)

This shows tvs upto 46"-50" have no difference when viewed as far from 10-12 feet.but below that 1080 p wins.

I was not just dead set on a 1080p . I wanted a 1080p screen that offered a good picture quality.. And moving to 1080p indeed made a big difference to my viewing experience. so i guess i did not make a mistake there. one big mistake i did make was spending extra to get 3D .

I.e Stuff like CPU,ALU,Input devices etc.

So a classmate of mine comes and asks me, Input devices are ... printer, Cpu and output are UPS right?
