    #define question

    Is it possible to #define a value after being scanned in like say if i wanted two values:
    Code:
    printf("print two values\n");
    scanf("%i,%i",int1,int2);
    /*check values*/
    
    /*then somehow*/
    #define THING_ONE  int1
    #define THING_TWO int2
    
    /*so then the rest of my program can use the #define sizes*/
    Thanks .

    #define arguments are "preprocessor" directives. This means before it processes any lines of code, these are processed. So no, it wouldn't work the way you expect.

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
