46. What are the limitations of scanf() and how can it be avoided?
47. Differentiate between the macros and the functions.

Ans: The differences between macros and functions can be explained as follows:

Macro call replaces the templates with the expansion in a literal way.

The Macro call makes the program run faster but also increases the program size.

Macro is simple and avoids errors related to the function calls.

In a function, call control is transferred to the function along with arguments.

It makes the functions small and compact.

Passing arguments and getting back the returned value takes time and makes the program run at a slower
rate.

48.Suppose a global variable and local variable have the same name. Is it is possible to access a global
variable from a block where local variables are defined?

Ans: No. It is not possible in C. It is always the most local variable that gets preference.
