Preprocessor is a program that processes an input to produce an output which is used as another programs input. The preprocessor directives are generally invoked by the compiler to process before compilation. The preprocessor directive are capable of performing simple textual substitutions, macro expansion, conditional compilation, warning and error reporting. It begins with special character # followed by directive name. Preprocessor directive statement does not end with a semi colon. Few examples of preprocessor directives are:
