Topic: Clarification on Pair programming

Message

Hi,
Please help me understand what is meant by pair programming in XP? My understanding is: 
Pair
programming means two programmers working togther at the same time on a
same computer for the same component/module. One is probably writing
the code and other is reviewing the code simulteneaously, working on
the logic, writing unit test cases, etc. Essentially dividing the
coding task between two people so that work gets faster. 

I may be wrong. Please help me.
