Why are all C objects/modules divided into 2 files, one with the .m suffix and the other with the .h suffix?
As far as I can tell the *.h file contains all the declarations of both variables and functions, whilst the *.m file contains all the actual code for the functions. Is this right?
What is the purpose of having 2 seperate files? Why can't it all be within one file?
*.m suffix? i havent seen many C files with that suffix, only the *.c suffix
The only file i know of that uses the *.m suffix is a Matlab file. Make sure you arent looking at a matlab file, instead of a C file.
The *.h suffix is used to include headers of definitions of function/data structures in the *.c files
If everything was in one file, large programs would be unreadable and unmaintainable, breaking this up into managable pieces is common practice.
Hope this clears any confusion up.
