HELP: C programming

Why will the following question produce 3, instead of 4? #include <stdio.h> #define square(x) (x*x) int main() { int x, y = 1; x=square(y+1); printf("%d\n",x); return 0; }

#define is a macro, it will just replace square(expressions) by expression*expression. so x=square(y+1)=y+1*y+1=1+1*1+1=3 if you want it to really calculate the square, use: #define square(x) (x)*(x)
