    #define problem in C

    Code:
    struct s { int i; };
    typedef struct s service;
    
    #ifdef __SERVICE__
    #define FOO 2
    #endif
    
    main()
    {
    printf("%d",FOO);
    }
    Why the above code does not print the value of FOO, saying that it was not declared?
    Why #ifdef condition evaluates to false though 'service' was defined with typedef earlier?

    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
