Apache access log

I want to ask what does the last number on each request in the access log mean?

127.0.0.1 - - [27/Jul/2014:12:49:31 +0300] "GET /battleWS/startServer/11 HTTP/1.1" 200 159

In this case it is 159, occasionally it's empty - (dash). Can someone tell me what this is? Thanks!

The last number which is returned on the apache log in the object size which is returned to the client ..

Documentation says: (%b) The last part indicates the size of the object returned to the client, not including the response headers. If no content was returned to the client, this value will be "-". To log "0" for no content, use %B instead.

The reason you see a "-" is because it asks if the resource has changed since last time, so it doesn't actually fetch it again.

Google is a lot faster than SO for such simple questions. :)
