A pointer is a computer science term for a variable that, instead of holding a bit of information, holds an address to where that information can be found in a computer's memory. You can imagine the variable as a signpost that \points\ to where the information can be found.
Grippe is an old fashioned word for the flu â the virus that can give you a fever, sore throat, and a headache. If you fear you're coming down with the grippe, you might spend the day in bed drinking tea. When someone feels achy, shivery, and tired, they probably fear having the grippe, which is highly contagious and sickens many people each year, mostly in the winter months. Today it's more commonly called the flu, short for influenza.
Stillâs disease is a rare inflammatory disorder that affects the entire body (systemic disease). The cause of the disorder is unknown (idiopathic). It is characterized by episodes of high, spiking fevers, an evanescent (transient) pink or salmon-colored rash (view pictures of the Stillâs rash), fatigue, joint pain, muscle pain, a sore throat and other symptoms associated with systemic inflammatory disease. Stillâs disease was first described in children, but it is now known to occur, much less commonly, in adults (in whom it is referred to as Adult-onset Stillâs disease, AOSD).
