    Compiling headers

    I have written all the declarations of functions and constants needed in my project in a file called filefunctions.h. And i added #include "filefunctions.h"
    in my program. But when I compile i m getting error message : no such file as filefunctions.h .. What should I do?

    You probably want to #include "filefunctions.h" instead.

    If filefunctions.h in the same directory as your source files? If not, you might want to add its directory into the list of include directories. How to do that would depend on your compiler or IDE.
