"I'm Still Waiting" is a popular song written and produced by Deke Richards and recorded by Diana Ross, which first appeared on her 1970 album Everything Is Everything. It reached No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart in August 1971.[1] It also reached number one in Ireland.


"I'm Still Waiting" continued the vein of sophisticated soul as heard on Ross's breakthrough solo hit "Ain't No Mountain High Enough." However it was only a modest success in the US, reaching #63 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart[2] and #40 on the R&B chart.[3]


Although initially intended only as an album track, BBC Radio 1 disc jockey Tony Blackburn featured it heavily on his morning programme and persuaded EMI, who then issued all Tamla Motown material in the UK, to release it as a single. On the UK Singles Chart, it reached No. 1 for four weeks in August 1971,[1] prompting a retitling of the album Surrender in the UK to I'm Still Waiting.

Why are these constructs (using ++) undefined behavior in C?

Why are these constructs (using ++) undefined behavior in C? #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { int i = 0; i = i++ + ++i; printf("%dn", i); // 3 i = 1; i = (i++); printf("%dn", i); // 2 Should be 1, no ? volatile int u = 0; u = u++ + ++u; printf("%dn", u); // 1 u = 1; u = (u++); printf("%dn", u); // 2 Should also be one, no ? register int v = 0; v = v++ + ++v; printf("%dn", v); // 3 (Should be the same as u ?) int w = 0; printf("%d %d %dn", w++, ++w, w); // shouldn't this print 0 2 2 int x[2] = { 5, 8 }, y = 0; x[y] = y ++; printf("%d %dn", x[0], x[1]); // shouldn't this print 0 8? or 5 0? } Homework? Not trying to be a pain, but you should never write code with expressions like these. They are usually given as academic examples, sometimes showing that different compilers yield different output. ...

Delphi Android file open failure with API 26

Delphi Android file open failure with API 26 I can open files on Android with the Delphi code shown below. But when I compile it at API 26, it gives the error I added in the picture below. How can I solve this problem? ExtFile := AnsiLowerCase(StringReplace(TPath.GetExtension(yol), '.', '',)); mime := TJMimeTypeMap.JavaClass.getSingleton(); ExtToMime := mime.getMimeTypeFromExtension(StringToJString(ExtFile)); Intent := TJIntent.Create; Intent.setAction(TJIntent.JavaClass.ACTION_VIEW); Intent.setDataAndType(StrToJURI('file:' + yol), ExtToMime); SharedActivity.startActivity(Intent); Thank you so much for your help. I'm glad that I finally came across this kind of understanding person on this platform. I tried the .pas file you sent. but I see a different error window. I share my codes and the error. thank you so much. var ExtFile,yol,deger,id:string; mime: JMimeTypeMap; ExtToMime: JString; Intent: JIntent; javafile:JFile; begin yol:='/sdcard/SkyWiFiDownloa...
