Is "knit 1, purl 2" a real stitch?

I’ve been knitting for a few months, and I have no idea what it would look like if you actually did this.

I tried googling, but most of what came up was crap.

The only thing I can think of is if it’s meant like step 1, knit 1 stitch, step 2, purl 1 stitch, which give you the seed stitch, if you did it right. or if you knitted a whole row, then purled two rows, which would give you small ribs i think.

any ideas? pictures? anything?
