A program can be at one of two promotion levels: development or production.
When at the development level, there are two versions of the program available: development and production.
When at the production level, there is only the one version of the program: production. Until edited, at which point it is back at the development level.
That aside:
We may want a program to look/behave differently depending on what version we are running/exporting.
This is where the "dev" and "prod" preprocessor directives come in.
Sample code:
In the sample code above, greet$ will have one value when we are running the development version, and a different value when running the production version.
