I’ve just started again with this stuff. I took an Intro To Programming class a while ago and am going back thru stuff for the next level class which will be next semester.

I dont understand the basics of files

EDIT:

To do this like a programmer would does it make sense to have the main.cpp file then for example create 6 more files 3 .cpp and 3 .h for 3 separate classes, that way I could isolate each class but still use them through objects in the main.cpp? Is this normal? Idk what the fuck I’m doing

EDIT OVER - - -

I created code in a file called main.cpp I understand that you can create other files In main.cpp I made a class with member variables and 2 member functions Inside the main() I used a constructor when creating an object I then called a member function that displays output which includes the values of the object This went well

I learned that if you have several files in the same program, that’s ok but there can only be one main function

So I decided I want to create another class in another file

I tried to access that class in main.cpp but am fucking everything up

I used the 3 guard pre processor directives fucking define and endif, I forget the other one

How the fuck could I do this and create objects of the function from the new file inside the main of the first file (main.cpp)

I learned that it’s common to have multiple files for readability some .h and some .cpp in a given program

I used include <file2Name.h> and am getting nowhere

Appreciate any basic tips, help, advice or whatever the fuck This is borderline hopeless
