    have a look of this code
    #include<iostream.h>
#define square(x)x*x
void main()
{
int b,a=4;
b=64/square(a);
cout<<b;
}
    Tell me the output...?and if it gives wrong output then give me correct output?
    ie i want b=4

    The output of this program is 64 which is wrong.
    Because the #define square(x) x*x means it will replace the square(x) by x*x
    so in program b=64/square(a) will be replaced by b=64/a*a;
    As in c++ both / and * has equal priority the expression will be as follows:
    b=(64/4)*4; i.e. b=16*4 = 64

    So for getting correct output our program should be 
    #include<iostream.h>
#define square(x) (x*x)
void main()
{
int b,a=4;
b=64/square(a);
cout<<b;
}
    Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
