Answer / kiran kumar yakkala
Macro- does not involve in compilation if there is any
logical error also just replaces the code
inline- look like function, but control doesn't goes to
fucntion and execute, it simply replaces the code like
macro but involves in compilation.

Answer / karna
when macro function executing the program control go to that macro function definition part
when inline function executed the definition part of function
came in inline functin call part and executed...program control not chance in any where of the program...

Answer / rahul sharma
Macro is a must do thing whearas inline is a hint to the compiler. he may choose not to inline if the function seems complex (it uses recursion or many loops)
Macro can have side effects e.g. the typical
SQUARE(++i); problem
but these problem are not there in inline functions

Answer / vishal
1> Macros are always expanded by pre-processor, whereas compiler may or may not replace the inline definitions. You cant force compiler to make a function inline. It is purely compiler based decision.
2> Debugging macros is also difficult.
3> Expressions passed as arguments to inline functions are evaluated once. In some cases, expressions passed as arguments to macros can be evaluated more than once.

A set of N billiard balls are set on a one-dimensional table. The table is 1 meter long, set north-south with two pockets at either side. Each ball has zero width and there is no friction so it is moving with a fixed velocity of either northward or southward and bounces back in a perfect elastic collision from other balls it encounter on its way (or drop into one of the pockets). Your job is to keep track of the balls movements. Task Please write a program that gets the initial place, speed and direction of all the balls and gives the position of a specific ball after t seconds. Input The first line contains the number of scenarios. Each one of the other lines in the input contains a scenario: The first number, N, is the number of balls; followed by N pairs of numbers: the distance in centimeters from the south end of the table and the speed (positive speed meaning it moves northward); the last two numbers are the number i of the target ball you should track and the time T in seconds. Output The output is a single number for each line which is the place (distance in centimeters from the south end of the table) of the tracked ball after T seconds. Note: There is no new line character at the end of the result. Sample Input 5 1 50 1 1 1000 1 50 1 1 6 1 60 -2 1 6 2 10 1 95 -1 2 30 2 10 1 95 -1 2 60 Sample Output 100 56 48 65 70
