If you know anything about Computer Science this question couldn't be more clear.

John K Clark:
> That said the number you asked for is 1.

So you see a single instance of "1" in "1+1"? Wow! And that was just basic math. 
I'm sorry but I refuse to be exposed to any more of this kind of silliness. The 
answer is 2. Always.

P.S. I suggest googling for difference between an "instance" and "type" in the 
context of OOP.
