    Smile How to create .h file in C

    Hi all:

    I am a newbie, in a recent assignment, I was asked to generate a .h file in my program. May I ask how to do this? I really do not know anything about file I/O.

    Thank you all

    just create a file with an h extension, and don't forget to include it in the source file in which you want to use it.

    Just to clear somthing up, file IO is usually:

    Code:
    FILE*
    When you actually read in a file to the program - not creating a header file. Just so you know the difference that all.

    Hi guys:

    Thank you for your reply, but I think because I put my question the wrong way, it somewhat misled you.

    Here it goes again:


    In this assignment, I was asked to read from a text file and store whatever I read into an abstract data type (it may be a stack or queue or even mapping), and furthermore write the ADT to a .h file and save it.

    What I want to know is:

    Is there a function that creates a text file? Such as:

    void CreateTextFile(myHeaderFile);

    Thank you all

    fopen opens a file. fclose closes it. If you're writing text, fprintf prints stuff to a file.
