The #define preprocessor directive, when used as #define pattern1 pattern2, results in all later instances of pattern1 being replaced by pattern2. In this example, N is not a variable, and is not being initialised, but every following use of N is replaced by 10;. You can follow this example by hand, as under test conditions, to find when the pattern 10; now introduces a syntax error in the C code. And because you're not under test conditions, and have access to a compiler, you could have the compiler identify invalid lines. Hope this helps,
