c puzzles

1.
enum {false,true};

int main()
{
int i=1;
do
{
printf("%d\n",i);
i++;
if(i < 15) continue; }while(false); return 0; } Output : 1

Within a do or a while statement, the next iteration starts by reevaluating the expression of the do or while statement.


2.

#include
#define f(a,b) a##b
#define g(a) #a
#define h(a) g(a)

int main()
{
printf("%s\n",h(f(1,2)));
printf("%s\n",g(f(1,2)));
return 0;
}
Just by looking at the program one "might" expect the output to be, the same for both the printf statements. But on running the program you get it as:
bash$ ./a.out
12
f(1,2)
bash$

Why is it so?

  1. for ques 2:

    An occurrence of a parameter in a function-like macro, unless it is the operand of # or ##, is expanded before substituting it and rescanning the whole for further expansion. Because g's parameter is the operand of #, the argument is not expanded but instead immediately stringified ("f(1,2)"). Because h's parameter is not the operand of # nor ##, the argument is first expanded (12), then substituted (g(12)), then rescanning and further expansion occurs ("12").
