Why?!?

Hi everybody!
I was testing a little program to see if I was using correctly some preprocessor directives and I got something unexpected.
Here's the code

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define Lato 16
#define N 3
#define Rmin 2
#define Rmax 8 

#if (Rmin%2 == 0 && Rmax%2 == 0)

#define Ymin Rmin/2
#define Ymax Rmax/2
#define Remin Rmin
#define Remax Rmax
#define Romin Rmin+1
#define Romax Rmax-1

#elif (Rmin%2 != 0 && Rmax%2 == 0)

#define Ymin (Rmin-1)/2
#define Ymax Rmax/2
#define Remin Rmin+1
#define Remax Rmax
#define Romin Rmin
#define Romax Rmax-1

#elif (Rmin%2 != 0 && Rmax%2 != 0)

#define Ymin (Rmin-1)/2
#define Ymax (Rmax+1)/2
#define Remin Rmin+1
#define Remax Rmax-1
#define Romin Rmin
#define Romax Rmax

#else

#define Ymin Rmin/2
#define Ymax (Rmax+1)/2
#define Remin Rmin
#define Remax Rmax-1
#define Romin Rmin+1
#define Romax Rmax

#endif

#define  R Ymax-Ymin+1
#define  Dodd (Romax-Romin)/2+1
#define  Deven (Remax-Remin)/2+1
  
int main(){
//Then I print all 
  printf("\nYmin=\t%d\tYmax=\t%d\nRemin=\t%d\tRemax=\t%d\nRomin=\t%d\tRomax=\t%d\nR=\t%d\nDodd=\t%d\tDeven\t%d\n",Ymin,Ymax,Remin,Remax,Romin,Romax,R,Dodd,Deven);
  
  return 0;
}

Ok, here's what I got on the terminal when I run it

Ymin= 1 Ymax= 4
Remin= 2 Remax= 8
Romin= 3 Romax= 7
R= 4
Dodd= 4 Deven= 4

Can you explain me why Dodd= (Romax-Romin)/2+1 and Deven= (Remax-Remin)/2+1 are both equal to 4?!?
Thank you very much...

Edit: scratch what I have said. Change the damn variable names, I keep getting lost.

Ughh found it, you need parentheses

Code:

#define Romin (Rmin+1)
#define Romax (Rmax-1)

Thank you very much...

I marked the area that gets compiled as red above:

The printf line's argument turns into (according to gcc -E):

Code:

2/2, 8/2, 2, 8, 2 +1, 8 -1, 8/2 -2/2 +1, (8 -1 -2 +1)/2+1, (8 -2)/2+1

I think you'll find that you need some extra parenthesis on the Romax, Romin.

Ok, I got it.
I thaught #define worked in a different way...so I also learned something new
Thank you very much
