#define....

Hi,

I am starting out in programming embeded VC++ for embeded solutions.

I am seeing this in many example programs of the "Programming Microsoft
Windows CE .NET" book where the following define statement appears at the top
of their header file examples.

#define dim(x) (sizeof(x) / sizeof(x[0]))

I am trying to understand what this line has to do with the rest of the
code. If anyone has this book (Isbn# 0-7356-1884-4) the ex. starts on P.18.

The way I see this is that we are dividing the size of x by the size of x[0]
and defining this by Dim(x). IM LOST!

ANYONE PLEASE!!!!!

Robert
