You can use the #ifdef and #ifndef preprocessor directives to check whether a symbol has been defined (#ifdef) or whether it has not been defined (#ifndef).

To check whether the symbol is defined or not you have to use #ifdef or #ifndef. You can check like a simple if condition: #ifdef NAME (the course of ation i.e. your c / c++ code) #else (the course of ation i.e. your c / c++ code) #endif

You can use the #ifdef and #ifndef preprocessor directives to check whether a symbol has been defined (#ifdef) or whether it has not been defined (#ifndef). Many programmers like to ensure that their own version of NULL is defined, not someone else's. This task can be accomplished as shown here: #ifdef NULL #undef NULL #endif #define NULL (void*) 0 The first line, #ifdef NULL, checks to see whether the NULL symbol has been defined. If so, it is undefined using #undef NULL and the new definition of NULL is defined. To check whether a symbol has not been defined yet, you would use the #ifndef preprocessor directive. read less
