Q11 . Write a note on Macro with the advantages and disadvantages.

Ans. . macro is a name given to a block of C statements as a pre-processor directive. Being a pre-

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
