c code #define MAX(a, b) ((a)>(b)?(a):(b))

DDD888

I forgot what is the advantage of this macro #define MAX(a, b) ((a)>(b)?(a)b)) vs #define MAX(a, b) (a>b?a:b)

Thanks in advance

如果a，b分别是单个变量，没什么区别，如果是a，b本身是表达式，前者可以避免一些歧义引起的潜在错误。

例子留给楼下。

In this case it might be fine without the extra parentheses because precedence of ternary operator is after arithmetic operators.
