C# directives

Question

Hi all Can I assign a value to the symbol as possible in C or not for #define?

Shweta Lodha · Answer

Hi Nithika The #define directive cannot be used to declare constant values as is typically done in C and C++. It is used to define a symbol used at compile time. More info: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yt3yck0x.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

Yes Nithika you can assign a constant value to variable using #define. In the C Programming Language the #define directive allows the definition of macros within your source code. These macro definitions allow constant values to be declared for use throughout your code. Macro definitions are not variables and cannot be changed by your program code like variables. You generally use this syntax when creating constants that represent numbers strings or expressions. Example: #define MAXAGE 100 If this is helpful for you then please accept my Answer.
