#define is preprocessor directive, and compiler replace all x in your code on 10+5, so your code for compiler will look like: int a = 10 + 5 * 10 + 5; And a = 65, because exist priority of operations #define don't count, it replace

The expression a = x * x; Will be replaced with a = 10 + 5 * 10 + 5; Considering multiplication operation has higher priority over addition, multiplication of 5 * 10 is processed first, then the result (50) will be added by 10 to the left, and 5 to the right.
