# CGX#13: urls
In this lesson we talk about urls.
I have hidden a few inside this
[markdown](https://pandao.github.io/editor.md/en.html)
document, and you probably know already what an
[URL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL?rel=gizmore)
or
[Uniform](https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/what-is-a-url)
[Resource](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Common_questions/Web_mechanics/What_is_a_URL)
[Locator](https://www.techtarget.com/searchnetworking/definition/URL)
is...
It is used in e.g. links to access ressources,
which is just an URL with a text, like this:
[https://mp3:
[email protected]:443/?q=gizmore&x#Amir](https://mp3:
[email protected]:443/?q=gizmore&x#Amir)
To demonstrate it, the text here equals the link.
Anyway, i am sure some
[newbies](https://memes.com/m/KwEZ9D8eR8V)
will learn something,
and some of us would

### Why ?
Why did they use 2 different characters
for the query part of the url? (`?` and `&`)?
This complicates url a lot.
