📄️ Understanding Preprocessors in C
The C preprocessor is a tool that is used to transform your program before it is compiled. It operates on the source code, manipulating it in various ways before handing it off to the compiler. The preprocessor is commonly used for conditional compilation, including files, and macro expansion.

Introduction
📄️ File Inclusion
In C programming, preprocessors are the directives, which give instruction to the C compiler to preprocess the information before the actual compilation starts. One of these preprocessor directives is the File Inclusion directive. In this article, we will learn about the File Inclusion directive, its types, and how to use it in C programming.
📄️ Conditional Compilation
C programming language provides several techniques to optimize your code. One of these techniques is Conditional Compilation. It is a feature of the C preprocessor that allows you to include or exclude part of the source code if a certain condition is met. It is a very powerful tool that can be used for debugging, testing, and setting up different build configurations.
