Thread: #define

Try it. It should be OK depending on your context of how you use them. If you want to do something like this:

Code:

char tab = TAB;

Then you need to do this:

Code:

#define TAB '\t'

If you want the tab as a string then:

Code:

#define TAB "\t"

Or leave off all quotes and use them in the code but that could get confusing... For example, originally, to assign the tab to a char, you'd have to do this:

Code:

#define TAB \t

...

char c = 'TAB';  /* This just looks wrong. */
