Chainsaw your code is good. I think you are a fine engineer in the field.
I meant Mr. C++'s code is wrong. He uses * and & with no idea what those operators mean. I've explained it to him more than once in different questions with the same mistakes.
Mr. C++, please don't say that the code people help you with is wrong. At best we spare a few moments of our time to stamp the solution out. For all I care I could be simply giving you pseudocode that doesn't compile in a compiler at all. The code is meant to illustrate a concept. It is your job to understand and learn the concepts. You should be able to rewrite the code you find here on your own.

Ok... I still have the stomach to answer your question. This time at least it's a different mistake ;-)
#define's can only be multilined if you do the \

This is in contrast to inline functions that can be multilined without the \
You asked about the conditional?
Here's how to use a conditional:
boolean-condition ? statement-to-excute-if-true : statement-to-execute-if-false;
This time, try to come up with the code to do it on your own. Won't spoon feed you this time.

C++ why are you deleteing x or y? You said:
"Define a macro MAX that accepts two parametersª and expands to the valueª of the largerª of the two (you'll need the conditionalª operatorª for this). "
where does it say you want to delete x or y? And, when you "expand to a value" it isn't an if statement, thats why they say you'll need a conditional.
By the way, what certification IS this? Sounds like a class C++ test.

Ah... It all makes sense now. I never did have much faith in certification programs. Best certification is demonstrated project experience. :-)
