To help solidify your understanding of this hour's lesson, you are encouraged to answer the quiz questions and finish the exercises provided in the Workshop before you move to the next lesson.

    What do the (x=1) && (y=10) and (x=1) & (y=10) expressions return, respectively?
    Given x = 96, y = 1, and z = 69, what does the expression !y ? x == z : y return?
    What do the ~0011000000111001 and ~1100111111000110 expressions return?
    Given x=9, what does (x%2==0)||(x%3==0) return? How about (x%2==0)&&(x%3==0)?
    Is 8 >> 3 equivalent to 8 / 23? How about 1 << 3?


    Given x = 0xEFFF and y = 0x1000, what do ~x and ~y return, respectively, in the hex format?
    Taking the values of x and y assigned in exercise 1, write a program that prints out the return values of !x and !y by using both the %d and %u formats in the printf() function.

    Given x = 123 and y = 4, write a program that displays the results of the x << y and x >> y expressions.
    Write a program that shows the return values (in hex) of the 0xFFFF^0x8888, 0xABCD & 0x4567, and 0xDCBA | 0x1234 expressions.
    Use the ?: operator and the for statement to write a program that keeps taking the characters entered by the user until the character q is accounted. (Hint: Put the x!='q' ? 1 : 0 expression to the second field in the for statement.)

The #define and #undef Directives

The #define directive is the most common preprocessor directive, which tells the preprocessor to replace every occurrence of a particular character string (that is, a macro name) with a specified value (that is, a macro body).

The C Preprocessor Versus the Compiler

One important thing you need to remember is that the C preprocessor is not part of the C compiler.

What Is the C Preprocessor?

If there is a constant appearing in several places in your program, it's a good idea to associate a symbolic name to the constant, and then use the symbolic name to replace the constant throughout the program. There are two advantages to doing so. First, your program will be more readable.
