Macro definition error in C?

I’m new to programming and hope someone can help me with this:

Why is it giving an output : 5 .
Here is the code snippet:

#include <stdio.h>
#define max 5;

int main(){
int i=0;
i = max+1;
printf("\n%d",i);
return 0;
}

Answer 1

Because the macro has a semi-colon. Code is equivalent to:

i = 5; + 1;

Remove the semi-colon from the macro.
