can any one guess what really rpg stands for in computer world?

Hey u dint answer me about my doubts??

BTW RPG stands 4 Role Playing Game
if I am not wrong
This is best to my knowledge

Guttu u are correct. i googled abt rpg and ended up with the same results.
And what is the problem u are having with the puzzle. it is simple.
(1/8)^(-2/3)
(1/2^3)^(-2/3) i.e 2^3 is 8.
which gives
(2^(3^(2/3)) 3 and 3 gets cancelled
which gives
2^2 =4.


Hope i made it clear.

yes baba u are clear.
thank u.

RPG-report program generator is what that meant.
its a programming language.
