... between resistors and what?
:-)
Oh, OK, OK... you can determine the value of a resistor from the colour-coding bands printed around it's body

a resistor is color coded with 3 stripes near each other and one or two (including from each other) more distant.
Colors:
0-black
1-brown
2-red
3-orange
4-yellow
5-green
6-blue
7-violet
8-gray
9-white
starting at the nearest band to the edge:
First two bands you write the numbers. Third band is how many 0s to put (for example if it's blue you put down 6 0s multiplying the original 2 digit number by 10^6)
If the multiplier band is gold or siver you multiply the 2 digit number by .1 for gold or .01 for silver

Here's a good way to remember the colors in their order:
Black --
Brown
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Violet
Gray
White
Gold
Silver

They are colour coded you need a resistor colour chart.
