The purpose of this Task is to let you express your problem-solving skills, programing skills, as well as to reveal your style of coding.

int *file_buffer = malloc(num_rows * sizeof(int)); // assumes you are reading ints from file

  send_buffer = new double[num_rows];

send_buffer = (double *)malloc(num_rows * sizeof(double);

Preprocessor are executed before compilation. This is a macro processor, which is used automatically by the C compiler to transform your program before actual compilation.

In simple words, preprocessor directives tells the compiler to preprocess the source code before compiling. All the preprocessor commands are begin with "#" symbol.

The most common use of the preprocessor is to include header files. In C and C++, all symbols must be declared in a file before they can used. They don’t always need to be defined*, but the compiler needs to know they exist somewhere. A preprocessor is just another technique to help a programming language be more useful. There are numerous techniques available and every language designer must choose the ones they like.

What if, we don't use it?

#include <stdio.h>
int main (void)

int main (void)

   volatile int i = 0;
   i = i++;
