#include&lt;stdio.h&gt; int main() {     int i = 2;     printf("\n %d %d %d \n",--i,i--,i);    //   0 2 2     return 0; }   The output prints 0 2 0 and not 0 2 2.I couldn't understand, as I assumed that the printf() evaluates from right to left.
Can it be assumed a evaluation order of the function parameters when calling it in C ? According to the following program, it seems that there is not a particular order when I executed it.   #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;  int main() {    int a[] = {1, 2, 3};    int * pa;      pa = &amp;a[0];    printf("a[0] = %d\ta[1] = %d\ta[2] = %d\n",*(pa), *(pa++),*(++pa));    /* Result: a[0] = 3  a[1] = 2    a[2] = 2 */     pa = &amp;a[0];    printf("a[0] = %d\ta[1] = %d\ta[2] = %d\n",*(pa++),*(pa),*(++pa));    /* Result: a[0] = 2  a[1] = 2     a[2] = 2 */     pa = &amp;a[0];    printf("a[0] = %d\ta[1] = %d\ta[2] = %d\n",*(pa++),*(++pa), *(pa));    /* a[0] = 2  a[1] = 2 a[2] = 1 */  }
Can Gmail automatically base "send from" address on the "to" address? Why is it possible to answer a question twice? You normally answer a question and you have the opportunity to answer again. The second time, a message is shown suggesting the use of the edit tool, but I think it's kind of wrong. I mean, if you answer something and then you want to say anything else you know that you must use edit.  Why not disable the answer button if you already have an answer?

What to conclude from this lasso plot (glmnet) Following is the plot of glmnet with default alpha(1, hence lasso) using mtcars data set in R with mpg as the DV and others as the predictor variables.  glmnet(as.matrix(mtcars[-1]), mtcars[,1])     What can we conclude from this plot regarding different variables, especially am, cyl and wt (red, black and light blue lines)? How would we phrase the output in a report to be published?  I thought of following:   wt is the most important predictor of mpg. It is negatively affecting the mpg. cyl is a weak negative predictor of mpg. am may be a positive predictor of mpg. Other variables are not robust predictors of mpg.    Thanks for your thoughts on this.  (Note: cyl is the black line which does not reach 0 till very close to it.)  Edit: Following is plot(mod, xvar='lambda') which shows x-axis in order reverse of above plot: Ban "What have you tried?" links in comments Recently on SO, I've been noticing a lot of link-only comments on (admittedly bad) questions.  The typical comment looks like this:        Now, my first instinct is to flag the comment as "not constructive" or "too chatty", but the fact is that the blog post linked to is actually good advice.  On the whole though, the way it is being wielded like a blunt instrument comes across as—at best—lazy arrogance in my opinion and is not adding anything to the network.  Can we ban "What have you tried?" links like we did with ?  An example:    To be clear, I'm not proposing that we stop people asking for clarification or expecting askers to explain themselves properly. I just don't think comments like these are particularly constructive. Using C++ library in C code Prove that there exists irrational numbers $x$ and $y$ such that $x + y$ is rational, without using subtraction My homework has this problem:     Prove that there exist irrational numbers $x$ and $y$ such that $x +  y$ is rational.   There is an easy solution that I found on mathbitsnotebook.com:     \begin{align} \left(2+6\sqrt{7}\right) + \left(-6\sqrt{7}\right) = 2.\end{align}   Can we prove the same without using subtraction? Behavior of $\|f\|_p$ when $p$ is near the endpoint of $I$ Given measure space $(X, \mu)$ and measurable function $f$. If $p \in (0, +\infty]$, below are the facts I know about $\Vert f \Vert_p$:  (log convex in $\frac 1 p$) $\forall p_1, p_2\in (0, +\infty] \text{ such that } p_1 &lt; p_2. \forall t \in(0, 1), \text{ let } \frac 1 p = \frac t {p_1} + \frac {1-t} {p_2}$, then $\Vert f \Vert_p \le \Vert f \Vert_{p_1}^t\Vert f \Vert_{p_2}^{1-t}$ ($0\cdot(+\infty)$ is defined to be $0$). (lower semi-continuity) $\forall p_0 \in (0, +\infty], \liminf_{p\to p_0}\Vert f\Vert_p \ge \Vert f \Vert_{p_0}$. If $0&lt;\mu(X) &lt; +\infty$, then $ \Vert f \Vert_p/\mu(X)^{\frac 1 p}$ is monotone increasing in $p$, combine it with (2) we get $\lim_{p\to p_0-}\Vert f\Vert_p = \Vert f \Vert_{p_0}$.  From (1) we know the set of $p$ such that $\Vert f \Vert_p &lt; +\infty$ is an interval $I$ (possibly empty or a singleton).  If $I \not\in a = \inf I$ and $a \neq 0$, from (2) we know $\lim_{p\to a+} \Vert f \Vert_p = +\infty$. If $I \not\in b = \sup I$, then $\lim_{p\to b-} \Vert f \Vert_p = +\infty$.  From (1) and the dominated convergence theorem we know that if $I \ni p_0 \neq \inf I$ and $p_0 &lt; +\infty$, then $\lim_{p\to p_0+} \Vert f \Vert_p = \Vert f \Vert_{p_0}$. If $I \ni p_0 \neq \sup I$, then $\lim_{p\to p_0-} \Vert f \Vert_p = \Vert f \Vert_{p_0}$.  If $I$ is nondegenerate and $+\infty \in I$, then $\lim_{p\to +\infty}\|f\|_p = \|f\|_{\infty}$.  If $\inf I = 0$, from (1) we know $\lim_{p\to 0+}\|f\|_p$ exists.   Question: How $\Vert f \Vert_p$ behaves when $p$ is the endpoint of $I$? To be more precise, assume $I$ is nonempty. Let $p_0 = \sup I$ (only right endpoint is considered for simplicity):  $p_0\in I$ or $p_0 \not\in I$? Can $I$ be a singleton? What if $p_0 = +\infty$? What if $0&lt;\mu(X) &lt; +\infty$?  Please also notify me if there is any mistake above. I'd like to create a Windows bootable USB stick, but I don't have a Windows machine with me at the moment to do so.

I've seen the full proof of the Triangle Inequality  \begin{equation*} |x+y|\le|x|+|y|.  \end{equation*} However, I haven't seen the proof of the reverse triangle inequality:  \begin{equation*} ||x|-|y||\le|x-y|. \end{equation*} Would you please prove this using only the Triangle Inequality above?  Thank you very much. So I need to compress a directory with max compression.   How can I do it with xz? I mean I will need tar too because I can't compress a directory with only xz.

There is a place in Bram Stoker’s Dracula where I can’t quite parse the grammar:     8 May. — I began to fear as I wrote in this book that I was getting too   diffuse. But now I am glad that I went into detail from the first, for   there is something so strange about this place and all in it that I cannot   but feel uneasy. I wish I were safe out of it, or that I had never come. It   may be that this strange night existence is telling on me, but would that   that were all!   I understand the meaning of the text in bold (it’s equivalent to if only that was all!), but I don’t understand the grammar being used. What kind of construct is this?
