c is only good if you add a # to it.

# is used in C to denote a preprocessor directive, so it is commonly used.

code:


#include <sa.h>

#if (YOS == POS)
#define ID 219
#endif

I am a C programmer and I dread my eventually replacement by kids writing JavaScript

don't worry, computers will be a million times more powerful so their JavaScript program will be about as fast as yours is

you can make C that's kind of object-oriented if you want, structs full of function pointers everywhere. you can even inherit by casting a struct full of function pointers to another struct full of function pointers

don't ever do this. cumulatively it probably wasted a month of developer time

you don't cast, you include the parent struct in the child. if you want to use the "super" you explicitly take a pointer to that member. this is easy to do and I'm not sure why it would waste more time than any other code.
