Use the following command to format your code:
clang-format
A .h file is a header file where you only declare your functions, classes, and variables. There should be no implementations in this file. Header files are useful for many reasons such as:
- Providing a summary form of the code that is easily read and understood
- Allows compilation of code based on header definitions, even if the implementation code is not written yet
- Reduces lines of code as well as complexity
A .cpp file is where you define the previously declared symbols - methods, static variables, and other functions. This file will have implementations.
