#ifdef, #ifndef and #endif directives in C #ifdef


If the named macro is defined, then the code between #ifdef and #endif will be compiled.

#ifndef
If the named macro is not defined, then the code between #ifndef and #endif will be compiled.

#ifdef, #ifndef and #endif example in C

  #include <stdio.h>
  #define NAME "Raj"

  int main() {

        #ifdef NAME
                printf("#ifdef: Value of NAME is %s\n", NAME);
        #endif

        #ifndef VAL
                printf("#ifndef: macro VAL is not defined\n");
        #endif
        return 0;
  }

  Output:
  jp@jp-VirtualBox:~/$ ./a.out
  #ifdef: Value of NAME is Raj
  #ifndef: macro VAL is not defined

In the above program, macro NAME is defined.  So, the code between #ifdef and #endif is executed. Similarly, the code between #ifndef and #endif is executed as the macro VAL is not defined.

textcolor in c

textcolor function is used to change the color of drawing text in c programs. Declaration :- void textcolor(int color); where color is an integer variable. For example 0 means BLACK color, 1 means BLUE, 2 means GREEN and soon. You can also use write appropriate color instead of integer. For example you can write textcolor(YELLOW); to change text color to YELLOW. But use colors in capital letters only. C programming code to change text color #include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> main() {    textcolor(RED);    cprintf("C programming");    getch();    return 0; } C programming code for blinking text #include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> main() {    textcolor(MAGENTA+BLINK);    cprintf("C programming");    getch();    return 0; } Note that we have used cprintf function instead of printf. This is because cprintf send formatted output to text window on screen and...
