What is the output of this program?

#include <stdio.h> 
#include <stdlib.h>
#define square(x) x*x
int main()
{
  int i;
  i = 27/square(3);
  printf("%d",i);
  return 0;
}

 

  • A.9
  • B.Compilation error
  • C.3
  • D.27

Answer: D

Correct answer: 27

The macro has no parentheses, so 27/square(3) expands to

27/3*3

and with / and * at equal precedence and left associativity that is \((27/3) \times 3 = 9 \times 3 = 27\). The intended \(27/9 = 3\) needs #define square(x) ((x)*(x)).
