THE FOLLOWING CODE-

C++

#ifdef MATHFUNCSDLL_EXPORTS
#define MATHFUNCSDLL_API __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define MATHFUNCSDLL_API __declspec(dllimport)
#endif

I think in the above code both import & export does the same work.Can Someone point the difference for me?

Have you checked the documentation?
Isn't it easier to search in google than post a question here and wait for replies?
