    Problem with including a class in my program

    I'm new to programming, and i have a big problem with C++ classes, or more importently, including the classes in my main.cpp file.
    I have 2 files in one folder, main.cpp and myclass.cpp
    The myclass.cpp one works fine, but i just can't put its functions into the main.cpp scope! I tried to use the old ".h" headers, but that makes things even MORE complicated and it doesn't work either. From what i understand, the .h files are an outdated C feature, so in C++ you should be able to include non-.h files.
    Here are the 2 files:
    main.cpp
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <myclass>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
        cout << "Hello world!" << endl;
        return 0;
    }
    myclass.cpp
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    class myclass
    {
        public:
            myclass();
            virtual ~myclass();
        protected:
        private:
    };
    
    myclass::myclass()
    {
        //ctor
    }
    
    myclass::~myclass()
    {
        //dtor
    }
    
    //More functions will go here
    I tried lots of things:
    #include <myclass.cpp>
    #include "myclass"
    #include "myclass.cpp"
    But all failed.

    Any help on this one?

    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
