What's the problem with the following:
Why is it not allowed, and how is it different from:Code:#define K 3; int max(int a, int b) { return a>b? a : b; } int main() { cout<<max(K, K+3); return 0; }
Thanks in advanced.Code:int max(int a, int b) { return a>b? a : b; } int main() { cout<<max(3, 3+3); return 0; }
Well the problem is your #define is wrong
should beCode:#define K 3;
Edit: what compiler are you using? If you use gcc then you can look at the code that the "expanded" #defines produce by using gcc -E srcfname.c. You'll then be able to see the problem immediately.Code:#define K 3

If your compiler doesn't support C++11, then use const instead of constexpr.
