47
FIRST_PART + LAST_PART * FIRST_PART + LAST_PART
MULTIPLICATION HAS MORE PRECEDENCE
SO 7 + 5 * 7 + 5
7 + 35 + 5
47

Use C guidelines and use
#define ALL_PARTS (FIRST_PART + LAST_PART)
Then the answer is:
(7 + 5) * (7 + 5) = 144

The output would be - 47
ALL_PARTS is relaced in the printf stt.
It would be replace by
FIRST_PART + LAST_PART* FIRST_PART + LAST_PART
with the bodmas rule
* preceeds + thus
7+5*7+5 = 7+35+5 = 47
