It is from the book =P

Psh. The 'from the book' example is always in C code. It's the law.

#include <stdio.h>

#define SIX 1 + 5
#define NINE 8 + 1

int main(void)
{
printf( "What you get if you multiply six by nine: %d\n", SIX * NINE );
return 0;
}

i dont understand... what does that proggie do?

It's makes 42 out of "SIX" and "NINE". SIX and NINE are macros. Here is how it would look without macros:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
  printf( "What you get if you multiply six by nine: %d\n", 1 + 5 * 8 + 1 );
  return 0;
}

5 * 8 + 2 is 42. :wink:

Or you could just do all your math in Base 13
