Let $$\alpha$$ be a positive real number. Let $$f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$$ and $$g:(\alpha, \infty) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$$ be the functions defined by

$$ f(x)=\sin \left(\frac{\pi x}{12}\right) \quad \text { and } \quad g(x)=\frac{2 \log _{\mathrm{e}}(\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{\alpha})}{\log _{\mathrm{e}}\left(e^{\sqrt{x}}-e^{\sqrt{\alpha}}\right)} . $$

Then the value of $$\lim \limits_{x \rightarrow \alpha^{+}} f(g(x))$$ is

Let the functions $$f:( - 1,1) \to R$$ and $$g:( - 1,1) \to ( - 1,1)$$ be defined by $$f(x) = |2x - 1| + |2x + 1|$$ and $$g(x) = x - [x]$$, where [x] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to x. Let $$f\,o\,g:( - 1,1) \to R$$ be the composite function defined by $$(f\,o\,g)(x) = f(g(x))$$. Suppose c is the number of points in the interval ($$-$$1, 1) at which $$f\,o\,g$$ is NOT continuous, and suppose d is the number of points in the interval ($$-$$1, 1) at which $$f\,o\,g$$ is NOT differentiable. Then the value of c + d is ............
