Is this a legit statement?

Code

// abc.h
#ifdef ABC
int ABC = 0;
#endif

...

// abc.cpp
#define ABC
ABC = 3;

I'm about to try it, just thought of it.

That code snipet doesn't make syntactical sense. What exactly are you trying to do?

You said you coded in C?

You should code this in "linear algebra".

Its ok if you first define ABC in abc.cpp and then include abc.h before you access the variable ABC. (didnt test it but should work)
