02. Header Files

Header Files

Header files, or .h files, allow related function, method, and class declarations to be collected in one place. The corresponding definitions can then be placed in .cpp files. The compiler considers a header declaration a "promise" that the definition will be found later in the code, so if the compiler reaches a function that hasn't been defined yet, it can continue on compiling until the definition is found. This allows functions to be defined (and declared) in arbitrary order.

Workspace

This section contains either a workspace (it can be a Jupyter Notebook workspace or an online code editor work space, etc.) and it cannot be automatically downloaded to be generated here. Please access the classroom with your account and manually download the workspace to your local machine. Note that for some courses, Udacity upload the workspace files onto https://github.com/udacity, so you may be able to download them there.

Workspace Information:

  • Default file path:
  • Workspace type: jupyter
  • Opened files (when workspace is loaded): n/a
