Kırıkkale is the capital of the Kırıkkale Province in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey. It is located 80 km east of Ankara. According to the 2000 census, the population of the province is 280,834, of which 192,705 live in the city of Kırıkkale.[3][4] The name of the city means broken castle.


The town of Kırıkkale is located on the Ankara-Kayseri railway near the Kızıl River in central Turkey. Formerly a village, it owes its rapid rise in population mainly to the establishment of steel mills in the 1950s. These works, among the largest in the country, specialize in high-quality alloy steel and machinery. In the 1960s chemical plants were added.


Kırıkkale University is located in the city.

History


The name of the city supposedly comes from the name "Kırık" a village 3 km north of the city combined with another name called "Kale", meaning castle, in the centre of the city, the two were put together to make 'Kırıkkale'. Inhabitation began in the 16th century when Turkish tribes came from the east and settled in Central Anatolia. [5]



Geography


Kırıkkale was recently declared a state in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey which is near Kızılırmak River translating to Red River. The river is used to produce rice for the Turkish economy. The natural vegetation is steppe type, and vineyards are found in abundance.[5]



Climate


Kırıkkale lies on a transitional zone between a hot summer continental climate (Köppen climate classification Dsa) and a cold semi-arid climate (Köppen climate classification BSk), with cold and snowy winters and hot and dry summers. Rainfall occurs mostly during the spring and autumn.

Extract Id from Twitch Clip URL

Extract Id from Twitch Clip URL How can I extract the Id of a Twitch Clip URL. Example: https://clips.twitch.tv/KindYummyCarrotPeteZaroll?some=1 I need only the Id part, for example: https://clips.twitch.tv/[ID]?v=1 https://clips.twitch.tv/[ID]?v=1 The Id in the top example is KindYummyCarrotPeteZaroll . Any query string if comes after should be ignored and not be part of the Id. KindYummyCarrotPeteZaroll I tried: MatchCollection matches = Regex.Matches(url, @"^(https://clips.twitch.tv/)(?:(?!http).)*?"); But I wasn't able to capture the Id in a group. I am using ASP.NET and C#. Try (?<=twitch.tv/)(w*)(?=?) – pkpkpk Jun 30 at 7:10 (?<=twitch.tv/)(w*)(?=?) 1 Answer 1 No need for Regex: string str = "https://clips.twitch.tv/KindYum...

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. ...
