title: Further shortening a printf using a #define (adding the ending brace), or shortening the #define C
body: <p>Currently, I am using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#define p printf(
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In order to reduce the amount of characters I use within printf's throughout the program, e.g, instead of:</p>
  
  <pre><code>printf("Hello, World.");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can do:</p>
  
  <pre><code>p"Hello, World.");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My question is, is it possible to further shorten this? E.g, adding the ending brace into the define? Something like (pseudo-code) :</p>
  
  <pre><code>#define p printf()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Or some such? Or even a shorter way of doing the #define?</p>
  
  <p>Edit: I'd better clarify before I get downvoted into oblivion. The point of this is not to save keystrokes because I am lazy, or because I want to make it unreadable. I have already written the program in question (which is quite readable and hopefully won't get me put in programmers hell), and I am curious as to how low I can get the char count. This question would assist in doing so.</p>
