Define

Define is a subset of the C preprocessor invented by User:A with a small extension: the scans are infinite.
Syntax
- #define macro replacement
- ... and __VA_ARGS__ (These represent arguments for the macros)
- ## (connect two macros)
Computational class
The C preprocessor was not Turing-complete because of the limited scans applied. Define breaks this limit, thus making it Turing-complete. Link
