Code: Select all
#define SIX 1 + 5
#define NINE 8 + 1
int main(void)
{
printf( "What you get if you multiply six by nine: %d\n", SIX * NINE );
return 0;
}...42
Because it is... 
the above code returns 42 as the answer because it sort of borkes the order of operations, but dosen't...
1 + 5 * 8 + 1
it dosen't sum the two definitions first.

1 + 5 * 8 + 1 gets evaluated as 1 + (5 * 8) + 1 == 42. This code snippet is evil. The #defines should've been written as:
But it's funny. A little.
