Learn and Master C Programming - Using Conditional Compilation

The video tutorial explains how to use conditional compilation in Visual Studio to manage platform-specific code execution. It covers the use of F. Define and the F0 trick for commenting out large sections of code. The tutorial demonstrates how to set up a project, define platform-specific code, and use preprocessor directives to control code compilation based on the environment. It also highlights the benefits of using these techniques for cross-platform development and efficient code management.
