As we know when we use a global variable then it works throughOut the Programme So here is also the same Concept Applies When we use Macro it Works throughout the programme.

I leave one example as below:
# define i 20
void fun(){
#undef i
#define i 30
}

int main(){
printf("%d",i);
fun();
printf(" %d",i);
return 0;
}

Output:30 30.
