What does it mean $\int_a^b f(G(x)) dG(x)$? - An exercise question on measure theory I am reading Folland's book and definitions are as follows (p. 108).

Let $G$ be a continuous increasing function on $[a,b]$ and let $G(a) = c, G(b) = d$.

What is asked in the question is:

If $f$ is a Borel measurable and integrable function on $[c,d]$, then $\int_c^d f(y)dy = \int_a^b f(G(x))dG(x)$. In particular, $\int_c^d f(y) dy = \int_a^b f(G(x))G'(x)dx$ if $G$ is absolutely continuous.

As you can see from the title, I did not understand what does it mean $\int_a^b f(G(x))dG(x)$. Also, I am stuck on the whole exercise. If one can help, I will be very happy! Thanks. 

This is likely either Riemann-Stieltjes or Lebesgue-Stieltjes integration (most likely the latter, given the context).
