what are macros?what are its advantages and disadvantages in c language?..

Answer / ravi ranjan

A macro is a name given to a block of C statements as a
pre-processor directive. Being a pre-processor, the block of
code is communicated to the compiler before entering into
the actual coding (main () function). A macro is defined
with the preprocessor directive, #define.

Like::: #define A 10
#define SUM(x,y) ((x) + (y))

Advantages :::
1.Symbolic constants are evaluated by the PRE-processor,
i.e. they are re-written as literal values, not as
variables. this has some nice side-effects that you can do
using symbolic defines eg. macros and functions inside them.

run-time access to symbolic constants should be
significantly faster than access to variables.
opposite to that, variables (and constants) are evaluated by
the processor (compiler).

2. It is easy to modify the value of the constant
variable,since we have to change the value at the macro
defintion only

DisAdvantages:::

1. Macros are not useful when the function definitions are
Big and when the function is used many number of times.

what are macros?what are its advantages and disadvantages in c language?..

Answer / deepedra kushwaha

A macro is a name given to a block of C statements as a
pre-processor directive. Being a pre-processor, the block of
code is communicated to the compiler before entering into
the actual coding (main () function). A macro is defined
with the preprocessor directive, #define.

The advantage of using macro is the execution speed of the
program fragment. When the actual code snippet is to be
used, it can be substituted by the name of the macro. The
same block of statements, on the other hand, need to be
repeatedly hard coded as and when required.

The disadvantage of the macro is the size of the program.
The reason is, the pre-processor will replace all the macros
in the program by its real definition prior to the
compilation process of the program.
Describe the advantages of using macro.

A macro is a name given to a block of the code which can be
substituted where the code snippet is to be used for more
than once.

- The speed of the execution of the program is the major
advantage of using a macro.

- It saves a lot of time that is spent by the compiler for
invoking / calling the functions.

- It reduces the length of the program.

The previous pointer of first node & next pointer of last node should contain null. 1. Creation of list with as many records as user want 2. Search a node in the list 3. Deletion at last position 4. Display 5. Exit Create separate functions for each operation. The create () will be used to create the list. It should accept no argument & return the address of the starting node. Search() will search a node in the list. It receives rollno as argument & return that node if found otherwise return null. The delete () function will delete the last node. It does not receive any argument & return structure type value at last position. The starting node of the double list must be declared as external pointer variable.
