Preprocessor Operators 

Four preprocessor-specific operators are used in the context of the #define directive (see the following list for a summary of each). The stringizing, charizing, and token-pasting operators are discussed in the next three sections. For information on the defined operator, see The #if, #elif, #else, and #endif Directives.
