How many times GeeksQuiz is printed in the above program ?

(A) 1

(B) 3

(C) 4

(D) Compile-time error



 Answer: (A) 

Explanation: If a macro needs to be expanded in multiple lines, it is the best practice to write those lines within do{ }while(0) to avoid macro side effects. After GeeksQuiz is printed once, the control reaches the while statement to check for the condition. Since, the condition is false, the loop gets terminated.
