H File

Category: Developer Files

What is a H file?

A header file is a file with the extension .h, referenced by a document written C, or C++ or objective-C source code. It comes in two variations: a file that comes with your compiler and the file that the programmer writes. It may contain constants, functions, and variables used by other files in a programming project. Also, it’s used to store C function declarations and macro definitions, which can be used by multiple source files. H files can store headers for C++, usually saved as HPP. The H file allows a used function to be written only once, hence when needed by other source files; it must be referenced. You can open and view h files in an editor since they are plain texts. To edit, you should use code editor like Apple X code or Microsoft visual studio, for an effortless process. Such editors provide helpful programming tabs like syntax highlighting, line numbers, and source code error checking.
