#define MAX_LEN 50
so
int nums[MAX_LEN];
translates to
int nums[50];
#define MAX_LEN 50;
int nums[MAX_LEN];
translates to
int nums[50;];
which won't compile

#define max(a, b) a > b ? a : b
#define sqr(x) x * x
#define name value
#define name(arguments) value
double y = max(u, v);

translates to
double y = u > v ? u : v;
i = j * j;
i / j * j;
which is equivalent to (i / j) * j; should write:
#define sqr(x) (x * x)
#define sqr(x) ((x) * (x))
#define NOCOPY(T) T(const T&)=delete;T(const T&&)=delete;void operator=(const T&)=delete;void operator=(const T&&)=delete;

#define assert(test) ((test) ? cerr \
