No, where?

In a sample code, it mentions 42 as being 'the ultimate answer'.

Forgive my ignorance and my going off-topic, but what's the "Hitchhikers
Guide to the Galaxy"?
Just curious, seems the title of a worth-and-fun-to-read book...



It's a very popular book among its large audience of readers. Actually it's
a series of books, which started out as a British radio play(!). It's about
the hilarious space adventures of an earthling. It's a very entertaining mix
of parody and lighthearted profoundness.
