Re: [Dev-C++] include files those with a .h?

[Fabien V. <fv...@fr...>]

Hi.
You can include whatever file you want. The files don't have to end with the
.h extension.
However, the file you include must contain datas that are understandable by
the Compiler.
The .h extension is here just to say that it is a HEADER file.

To include files you 2 ways:

#include <stdio.h>

Using < > you tell the compiler that the file is stored in the include
folder of Dev C++.
If your files is somewhere else you use:

#include "C:/SOMEWHERE/myfile.txt"

Between the " " you put the complete path where your file is.

That's all.

VIVES Fabien.
