What will the SWAP macro in the following program be expanded to on preprocessing? will the code compile?
#include<stdio.h>
#define SWAP(a, b, c)(c t; t=a, a=b, b=t)
int main()
{
    int x=10, y=20;
    SWAP(x, y, int);
    printf("%d %d\n", x, y);
    return 0;
}
It compiles
Compiles with an warning
Not compile
Compiles and print nothing
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The code won't compile since declaration of t cannot occur within parenthesis.

#include<stdio.h>
int c,t;
#define SWAP(a,b,c) (t=a,a=b,b=c)
int main()
{
int x=10,y=20;
SWAP(x,y,t);
printf("x=%d,y=%d\n",x,y);
return 0;
}

Above program works correctly and swap the value of x and y.

Why the swap is in header file. We can use the Capital letters when writing the c programme? Please tell me.

@Ganga.

You can use small letters.
