What must come before using a variable in C?

Short answer. Declaring it: type, then name.

Does #define need a semicolon?

No, and no equals sign either.

Remember

Type, name, then value
#define: no = and no ;

In C, you cannot use a variable before declaring it. Write the type, then the name. R holds runs, forty five. PASS is a constant, thirty three. So it prints twelve. Type, name, then value. Hash define needs no equals and no semicolon.
