Usually, but it varies according to platform. For which are you developing?

but how he explained it depended on a particular sized screen, surely that cant be how developers do it :S
Yes, For an app using the windows GUI you would Create a window the size of the screen. If you were using a graphics API like directx you would set it to exclusive mode making your program's drawing surface ocupy the entire screen.
You didn't say weather you were making a GUI or console app. If you were making a console app then I don't think there is anyway to have your program automatically become full screen other then creating a shortcut to it.
im making a console app, since that's all i can do atm :P well thanks anyway guys, much appreciated
