Discussion Forum : C Preprocessor - Find Output of Program (Q.No. 3)
3.
What will be the output of the program?
#include<stdio.h>
#define SQR(x)(x*x)
int main()
{
int a, b=3;
a = SQR(b+2);
printf("%d\n", a);
return 0;
}
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The macro function SQR(x)(x*x) calculate the square of the given number 'x'. (Eg: 102)
Step 1: int a, b=3; Here the variable a, b are declared as an integer type and the variable b is initialized to 3.
Step 2: a = SQR(b+2); becomes,
=> a = b+2 * b+2; Here SQR(x) is replaced by macro to x*x .
=> a = 3+2 * 3+2;
=> a = 3 + 6 + 2;
=> a = 11;
Step 3: printf("%d\n", a); It prints the value of variable 'a'.
Hence the output of the program is 11

The Rule of macros is Find and Replace.

#include<stdio.h>
int SQR(int x){return x*x;}
int main()
{
int a, b=3;
a = SQR(b+2);
printf("%d\n", a);
return 0;
}
o/p:
25.
And the result should be 25 instead of 11.
int SQR(int x){return x*x;}
int main()
{
int a, b=3;
a = SQR(b+2);
printf("%d\n", a);
return 0;
}

If sqr(x) (x)*(x) then it should be 25.
And if sqr(x) (x*x) then it will be 11.
And if sqr(x) (x*x) then it will be 11.

#define SQR(x)(x*x)
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a, b=3;
a = SQR(b+a);
printf("%d\n", a);
return 0;
}
The output will be a=3, how is possible? Pease explain me.

If we give (b + 2) then we get 25.

If we convert it in postfix expression, then evaluate it will be 11.

Write a program to calculate the valude of x, Where x=(3+4ab)3/2c^2.
Can anyone help me with this?

At the compilation stage, only 3 is passed into the macro.
Because we are passing b+2, which will be calculated at the run time. During run time it will become 9+2=11.

Hi, friends.
Mainly there are 2 types of the macro.
1. Object type
2. Function type.
Here we are considering the function type so the bracket after the SQR are the brackets of function, not the usual one.SQR(x)(x*x) = (3+2)*(3+2).
