Which of the following is true about inline functions and macros.
(A) Inline functions do type checking for parameters, macros don’t
(B) Macros are processed by pre-processor and inline functions are processed in later stages of compilation.
(C) Macros cannot have return statement, inline functions can.
(D) Macros are prone to bugs and errors, inline functions are not.

Answer: (E)
Explanation: An inline function is a normal function which is defined by the keyword inline. It is a short function which is expanded by the compiler, And its arguments are evaluated only once.
An inline functions are the short length functions that are automatically made the inline functions without using the inline keyword inside the class. Inline function do type checking for parameters whereas macros do not check the parameter.
