Preprocessor directive doubt

Murugesh_89 · May 23, 2014

Hi here,

Code C - [expand]
1
2
3
4
5

7
#include<stdio.h>
#define max 100
int main()
{
    printf("max is %d", max);  
    return 0;
}

Why the max inside "" is not replaced.

Because string literals are excluded from preprocessor parsing action.

Code C - [expand]
1 2 3 4 5 6 7	#include<stdio.h> #define max 100 int main() { printf("max is %d", max); return 0; }
