Hi people
I got a C++ book and some of the example had multiple .cpp and .h files.
Can someone explain how that works as the book didnt explain very well. How can you have multiple cpp files? I looked in the code and there didn't seem to be any reference to the other ones but they were all from the same program. They had different functions in that the program needed.
Anyone?
Thanks

If you are using an IDE, you typically just add the .cpp module files to the project.
[edit]And if you're using a makefile, you're in your own special hell until you've gotten the make utility somewhat figured out.
Thanks makes more sense now.
#include "filename.cpp"
?
No, no, no, no, no!Quote:

That's the path toward linker errors.Quote:

I have lots of projects where I include at least 20 different things and it works fine. I just use it for better organization
OK I shall not do that then. Thanks.
