The #if ... #else directive Example in C | C preprocessor programs

The #if ... #else is a preprocessor directive in C programming language and it is used for conditional compilation, where one of the code section needs to be compiled based on the condition from two given code sections.

General for of the #if ... #else directive is:

    #if conditional_expression 
	    statements-true;
    #else
	    statements-false;
    #endif

If conditional_expression is true, the code written between in #if block i.e. statements-true will be executed and if conditional_expression is false, code written in #else block i.e. statements-false will be executed.
