Can like someone help me-? i don't understand this tech stuff

David is in week 3 of his current ashford course and has a paper due by monday night at midnight. he has finished everything but the concluding paragraph. as he boots up his computer to work on it, he sees a flash across the screen and then the screen goes black. he begins to panic as he tries desperately to turn the laptop back on. david should have saved his work on what kind of portable device?

Me with this program in c++ ! computers represent color by combining sub-colors red, green, and blue (rgb). each sub-color's value can range from 0 to 255. thus (255, 0, 0) is bright red. (130, 0, 130) is a medium purple. (0, 0, 0) is black, (255, 255, 255) is white, and (40, 40, 40) is a dark gray. (130, 50, 130) is a faded purple, due to the (50, 50, 50) gray part. (in other word, equal amounts of red, green, blue yield gray).given values for red, green, and blue, remove the gray part. ex: if the input is 130 50 130, the output is: 80 0 80. thus, find the smallest value, and then subtract it from all three values, thus removing the gray.

What is a point-in-time measurement of system performance?
