C++ Exercise questions

[daniel1977]

Dear Friends:

I have a few questions. First, I want to say I am using Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express.

1. When creating a class, should it be in the main file? I assumed it was in the header files folder of the project. Maybe I am making this process too difficult.

2. When creating a class using the "add" , "new" by right clicking on the header file folder, do you want to select "header" or "class"? I have created my class as a (example) "dateType.h". When I do this, it appears my identifiers are being declared in the main file.

I just recently discovered the ability to create a class, by selecting "class" when clicking on the "add", "new", but I have not had any success with it. Your thoughts?

Regards,

Danni

In general header files are where you describe the class/methods, the class file is where you actually implement the class/methods.

In the headers folder, right-click and create a new .h file. This is where your class declarations go. In the sources folder, create a new .cpp file to add your implementation of the class. Here's an example: http://www.learncpp.com/cpp-tutorial/89-class-code-and-header-files/
