C Programming Macros multiplication
c
Solution
Try something like:
#define MULT(x, y) ((x)*(y))
Problem
Possible Duplicate: C Macros and use of arguments in parentheses I found this macro question to be very interesting. If this following code is defined as a Macro ``` #define MULT(x, y) x * y ``` And the function call is made as `int z = MULT(3 + 2, 4 + 2);`. The Desired output is 3+2=5 and 4+2=6 And 5*6 to be 30. But the returned output was 13. It takes it as 3+2*4+2. Hence according to the precedence of operators it evaluates 2*4 first. What is the fix here? In case of smaller functions like these which one is efficient? Defining the function or using the macros?
