In [[computer programming]], the term '''directive''' is applied in a variety of ways that are similar to the term ''command'', it is also used to describe some [[programming language]] constructs (e.g. those specifying how a [[compiler]] or [[assembly language|assembler]] should process its input).

Line 5 ⟶ 6:

==The C preprocessor==

{{mainMain|C preprocessor}}

In [[C (programming language)|C]] and [[C++]], the language supports a simple [[Macro (computer science)|macro]] preprocessor. Source lines that should be handled by the preprocessor, such as <code>#define</code> and <code>#include</code> are referred to as ''preprocessor directives''.

Line 26 ⟶ 27:

* <code>Option Compare Text</code> - Tells the compiler to compare text using a textual algorithm.
