File name ending...

[Matt53]

I know C++ But what is the file ending of it... Like for html its .html can anyone help me please?

If you keep to Microsoft it is .h for the headers and .cpp for the source files.

Some places use .hxx and .cxx
Other places use .H and .C but you'll have to make sure /Tp is set on your compiler otherwise it takes .C as .c i.e. C instead of C++.

Some places use combinations of the above. There is no standard.

.cc is also another common extension and for headers .hpp is sometimes used

You can find C++ libraries where headers have no file extension. STL headers follow this, like <iostream> or <vector> for example. This is also the way trolltech rename headers of Qt4's classes, like <QApplication> or <QTextEdit>. Generally such files are headers aliases.

Name it whatever you want as long as you can tell your compiler what it is:

$ cat <<EOF >waffle.moo
> int main() {}
> EOF
$ gcc -xc++ waffle.moo -o waffle
$ ./waffle
