    Im trying to define diferent keys on the keyboard to do
    things in a program. but I cant make it work.


    #define K 4b
    if (K=='1')
    {i++}

    can I define something like this and make it work anywhere in
    a big program.

    Sorry, but even the newbie I am can see that is just horribly wrong.

    Also, read the rules before you post. Some of these guys are pretty strict about posting the way you do.

    Well you can do that, but its not gonna do anything. Lets expand out the macro and you get

    Code:
    if ( 4b == '1' )
    {
      i++;
    }
    So unless the character 1 happens to have a decimal value of 4 it will always be false.
