#define int arr1[max]

    #define max 5

    #define int arr1[max]

    main()

    {

    typedef char arr2[max];

    arr1 list={0,1,2,3,4};

    arr2 name="name";

    printf("%d %s",list[0],name);

    }

Answer:

Compiler error (in the line arr1 list = {0,1,2,3,4})

Explanation:

arr2 is declared of type array of size 5 of characters. So it can be used to declare the variable name of the type arr2. But it is not the case of arr1. Hence an error.

Rule of Thumb:

#defines are used for textual replacement whereas typedefs are used for declaring new types.
