What is a CC file?

.CC is the file extension used for a source code file with the C++ program. These text-based developer files may contain one or more source code files that can be stand-alone files or files that are referenced by another outside program. These source codes contain functions that are compiled to be easily understood by the operating system of computers, IDE, or compilers. A file extension does not serve as a guarantee of content. The ”.cc” file extension comes from the Unix culture, a family of multitasking computer operating systems. The ”.cc” file extension is typically used but C++ files outside of the Unix culture also use common file extensions, such as ”.cpp”, ”.C”, ”.cxx”, and ”.c++” for the implementation code. These file extensions are also used for headers but the first letter of the assigned file extension is replaced with an ”h”. Examples given: ”.hh”, ”.hpp”, ”.H”, ”.hxx”, and ”.h++”.
