header files cpp code example

Example 1: c++ header files

// You should use header files when you wan't to split your
// program across multiple files. Use it like this:

// vec2.hpp
class vec2 {
	public:
  		void printVec(); // Decleration
  		float x, y;
}
// vec2.cpp
#include "vec2.hpp"
void vec2::printVec() { // Implementation
	std::cout << x << y << std::endl;
}

Example 2: what is a header in c++

// my_program.cpp
#include "my_class.h"

using namespace N;

int main()
{
    my_class mc;
    mc.do_something();
    return 0;
}

Example 3: what is a header in c++

// my_class.cpp
#include "my_class.h" // header in local directory
#include <iostream> // header in standard library

using namespace N;
using namespace std;

void my_class::do_something()
{
    cout << "Doing something!" << endl;
}

Example 4: including cpp header file in c++

#include "enter_name_here.cpp"

//Make sure the files are in the same directory.
