Mount Adam (Spanish: "Monte Independencia/Monte Beaufort") is a mountain on West Falkland, part of the Hill Cove Mountains range. It is the highest mountain on West Falkland and is the second highest in the islands.[2] It has the remains of glacial cirques on it, and is of similar height to Mount Usborne on East Falkland. Its summit is at 2,300 feet (700 m).[3] It is south west of Mount Edgeworth.


As one of the highest mountains of the Falklands, it experienced some glaciation. The handful of mountains over 2,000 feet (610 m) have:




"pronounced corries with small glacial lakes at their bases, morainic ridges deposited below the corries suggest that the glaciers and ice domes were confined to areas of maximum elevation with other parts of the islands experiencing a periglacial climate" [4]

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. ...
