How to calculate Token in this Programe.

Answer is 10 ,But i m not getting it..

Answer 1

#include<stdio.h> is not a token, macro expansion and file inclusion are done in preprocessing stage before giving the code to compiler for lexical analysis

1 main

2 (

3 )

4 {

5 printf

6 (

7 "This is GO mock exam\n"

8 )

9 ;

10 }

Total Token =10

Let me know it is correct or not.

Thanks  @ joshi_nitish for clearing the doubt.
