What is the difference between following commands?

2. #define STATUS 0x01


3. #define STATUS 0x0001

Hexa values in C programming?
#1 defines STATUS as a bit


#2 defines STATUS as a byte


#3 defines STATUS as 2 bytes





if you try to use 1 or 2 with a 2 byte number, say to add to, the answer may not be what you expect because the remaining bits are unknowns.
Reply:No difference. For readability, it indicates the size of the constant.
Reply:None to the computer - makes it _look_ different for human readability.





For example, if I was defining a colour as a hex, I would type 0x000020 and not 0x20, because it would put it in more context for other people. The computer doesn't mind one way or another.
