How to create my own header file in c++?
Yes, you can create your own header file.
- Kindly go through thinking in c++ by bruce eckel vol 1.
- Just to begin with, a header file is which has extension '.h'/'.hpp'
- These files have declaration of user defined data structures and interfaces such has class declaration, function prototypes and etc.
- After declaring and storing it into project folder. you need to include this file in .cpp/.c eg.:
file: myheader.h
#ifndef MYHEADER
#define MYHEADER
......
#endif
file: myclass.cpp
#include <iostream.h>
#include "myheader.h"
Yes, of course you can, but before that you need to learn what header files are and how you can use them properly.
file: yourname.h
#ifndef YOUR_NAME_INCLUDE
#define YOUR_NAME_INCLUDE
/* Your function statement here */
#endif
yourname.cpp
#include <iostream.h>
#include "yourname.h"
/* Your function definition here */
main.cpp
#include <iostream.h>
#include "yourname.h"
/* Your function calling here */
