How would you implement a static dictionary with macros?
For example, the five lines
PL_FIND(MYDICT, HOUSE)
PL_FIND(MYDICT, AUTO)
PL_FIND(MYDICT, THIS_IS_NOT_IN_ THE_DICTIONARY)
PL_FIND(MYDICT, jhgjhguytuyhkgj hg)
PL_FIND(MYDICT, 3498fjkhdlkh340 98jhf)
should produce:
house_definitio n
auto_definition
symbol_not_foun d
symbol_not_foun d
symbol_not_foun d

I wouldn't. Learning stupid preprocessor tricks is a recipe for
disaster; you _will_ use them in production code, and that _will_ go
creatively and headache-inducingly wrong.
Next!

The C language is a trick. The C++ language is a trick. The assembly
language is a trick. A lever is a trick. What we see is a trick. And
then what? Should we limit our curiosity and creativity? I don't think so.
A little quiz is a little quiz, not a recipe for building strong
industrial applications. Anyway I was quite sure there was a standard
describing the C preprocessor.

Sure they are. The difference is they're not stupid.

Then you must have solved the quiz and found it stupid.
Would you be so kind as to give me your answer?
I am very interested.

That doesn't follow. Here's the solution to your "quiz", repeated
here:

I believe there is not an answer which would allow the "unknownsym bol"
responses. If there is, it requires excessively stupid contortions.

Wrong answer. Maybe you missed the word "How".

Yep, very logical.

You missed the implied point that whomever is asking this question -
be it an instructor, a recruiter, or your boss - is either
intentionally wasting your time or an idiot, probably both. See what
your answer becomes when you unwittingly accept a job *maintaining*
this macro-implemented static dictionary.

i have a problem dealing with a quiz system in php.
the idea is that am building a quiz system by giving a question and

Hi,
I've put together a little quiz using javascript. It doesn't actually keep score, it let's you keep answering the same question until you get it right. Most of the questions use multiple choice radio buttons and I have them working fine. One of the questions requires the user to enter a letter into 5 text input fields. The user has to enter A,B,C,D or E into each field. I wanted it to allow upper or lower case, so I used regular expressions...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
