What is a Preprocessor?
A preprocessor is a text processing tool that scans the source code before compilation and performs various transformations based on specific instructions called directives. These directives begin with a hash symbol (#) and are executed before the actual compilation process begins. The preprocessor operates independently of the compiler, enabling developers to manipulate the source code to enhance readability, code reuse, and efficiency.
