Namespaces and pre-processing directives

[Megha Murarka]

Hi All,

The program given below compiles fine.
but if we use the statement ,
int x = MYSPACE::VALUE +1;
 It gives an error. Why is it so ? (when the #define is present inside the
scope of the namespace ) ????
****************************************************************************
**
namespace MYSPACE{
    #define VALUE 50;
};
int main(){
    int x = VALUE + 1;
    return 1;
}

Regards,
Megha
