[Dev-C++] Newbie problem including files correctly

[Dane E. <DE...@pa...>]

Hi,

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

I have three files:
1. Employee.h - Class declarations only
2. Employee.cpp - class functions only , includes constructor.
3. main.cpp - main file.

My Employee.h file declares 2 variables that are string types. My
Employee.cpp's constructor sets them to
A default value. I cant figure out the correct location of the include
statements. Their placement looks incorrect to me and after trying many
different combinations I still can't fix it. Here is what I have
Right now:

Employee.h file
  None.
Employee.cpp file
  #include "Employee.h"
  #include <iostream>
Main.cpp file
  #include <iostream>
  #include <stdlib.h>
  #include "Employee.cpp"

Hi Dane,

yup, it's pretty confusing in the beginning, I know! But don't worry, you
will soon get the hang of include files.

Try the following setup and see if it solves your problem:

Employee.h file
  #include <iostream.h>
Employee.cpp file
  #include "Employee.h"
Main.cpp file
  #include <iostream>
  #include <stdlib.h>
  #include "Employee.h"

You see, by including the *.h file in the main cpp file, you automatically
include the *.cpp file as it contains the actual code and not just the
definitions, classes and prototypes.

Good luck!

Surely you shouldn't mix iostream and iostream.h like that?

That's true.
