General information



Name


The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Skiptvet farm (Old Norse: Skipþveit and/or Skygþveit), since the first church was built here. The meaning of the first element(s) is not known and the last element is þveit which means "clearing in the woods". Prior to 1889, the name was written "Skibtvet".



Coat-of-arms


The coat-of-arms is from modern times. They were granted on 27 November 1981. The arms show a silver dragon on a red background. The dragon is derived from a local legend, in which a dragon went to sleep in the local churchyard every morning. In the evening the dragon went back to the forest, where it had its lair. A tarn near the church is still called Dragehullet meaning "the dragon's pit".[2]

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. ...
