The C Preprocessor is a macro processor that is part of the C programming language. It is used to preprocess source code before it is compiled and assembled into machine code. The C Preprocessor is used to perform tasks such as:
Expanding Macros
Macros are preprocessor directives that define a name to a string of text. When the preprocessor encounters a macro, it replaces the macro with the string of text. Macros can be used to define constants, functions, and other code shortcuts.
Conditional Compilation
Conditional compilation allows code to be compiled only if certain conditions are met. The preprocessor uses the #if, #elif, and #endif directives to implement conditional compilation.
