include directive with header file

Hello everybody

I am having trouble with header files. I am specifically looking for resources on how to construct header files. The resources I have found just tell me what these files are used for.

Code:

---

#include<stdio.h>
#include "other.h"
 
int main(void)
{
     
  return 0;
}

---

I just want to make simple header file. What should I have to put in header file

I'm just not sure the structure and syntax to use with headers. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

You don't "have" to put anything in a header file you create, if your program consists of only one .c file.

If your program has multiple .c files with function definitions and function calls in different files, then you would put all the extern function declarations/prototypes in the header file along with other things such as struct declarations, global data extern declarations, though global variables should be avoided in most cases.

A good book on the C Programming language would explain all of this in more detail, or taking a course from a qualified instructor.
