Separating a C++ class into a .h and .cpp files

[@44mod]

Thank you so much for explaining everything to an old man of 55 who just likes to learn. My body is worn but i am trying to keep my mind working. Again thank you for your videos and God Bless You!

[@ahmedtalaat27]

Actually old is all about mind not the age...

[@chriseberle4234]

You still code?

[@44mod]

@@chriseberle4234 yes still trying to learn. I love the challenge!!

@@44mod congrats any advice for a 17 year old?

[@44mod]

@@grandmakisses9973 Just keep it fun. My oldest granddaughter was drawing a house on a piece of paper. I showed her how to take that drawing and use Fusion and then draw a squire, the offset the lines and then extrude. She then put a larger square on top and extrude. next came the chimney and she cut hole through wall and make windows. I said what do you think about that? She was amazed then I said, would you like to see what it looks like in real life? Yes she said and I saved it as 3d .stl file and 3D Printed a small version. She could not be leave she went from a drawing to a real house in a couple of hours!! Thank you fusion 360!!!

This was a tremendous help to me, coming from another language to C++. Thank you.

[@themagnificiantmagnus]

Exactly the same for me. Coming from C# to C++, this made light in something that I was struggling with.

[@Droid2020]

You have no idea how much this helped me. I seriously had no idea how to create another file within my project and I was starting to go a little crazy.

[@ISKLEMMI]

Thank you for explaining this super clearly! I've been looking at moving to C++ from C for some of my projects, and this is one of the things that's confused me. Your video helped the idea click in my head.

this guys voice sounds like robert california's from the office. lol

[@MattMaggioChannel]

Hahahaha that’s so true, I love it

[@salbertus2578]

I was thinking the turtle in sly cooper.

[@MattMaggioChannel]

Do more videos, seriously. Great job. You get straight to the point and fast. Only recommendation is maybe higher quality recording?

[@rudylucas4379]

Geez!! Best damn explanation of the "why". Please teach at my university.

[@alucard64music61]

Thanks for Your Video. You Saved my First big Project that I´m working on since 4 months.😃

[@brendanklaus4199]

Thank you! This is third video I watched about this topic, you're the only one that explained the Student:: concept. The only constructive criticism I can give you was there were way too many "uhs" and "ums". I don't know if the bother everyone, but man it was painful. Cheers!

Quit whining pussy

[@foluobidare957]

Thanks for explaining explicitly!

[@shaynerushton214]

Nice. Concise. Cold as Ice! Thanks, man.

[@owenhobbs1758]

Thanks, this video really helped me out!

[@epicretrogamingx7351]

than you very much, i wrote all my code in the .h file and was wondering what the hell i was doing

[@drekforder2952]

You explained it very well but what are the actual benefits if splitting it up like this? What is it good for?

[@victoria_kirilova]

Thank you soo much. You can't tell how much you help new beginners like me.. Thank you !

[@EricCastorina-vv1ww]

What does the last line of code in the .h file that starts with friend mean/do?

[@superdahoho]

thank you so much, you're helping me a lot more than I expected

[@DA-rp1wg]

Great tutorial , clear and fluent explanation, Thank you!

[@Samtheabsoluteunit]

Explained very clearly and helped a lot!

[@sherifayakubu1987]

Thanks for the video it was very helpful. I have two questions where would you place the initialization of static member variables of the class would it be in the .h or .cpp and can you use #pragma once instead of the #ifndef and #define

[@GaryPaluk]

Whilst #pragma once is widely supported, it isn't actually standardized and as such, if you want to ensure that your code is more portable, it's advised to use header guards.

[@Kelsatar]

Hi. When i declare de class in a .h file and the te implementation in a .cpp file, the code does not compile, it's seems to be a problem of comunication with de .h file and the .cpp file. But, when I declare and implement de Class en the same .h file, the program in main runs successfully. It's seems to be a problem in the compiler.

[@kevinjad4506]

When you speak, you look for my soul!

[@alecvan7143]

Is it just me, or does your voice sound like James Spade? hahaha. Great video, thank you

[@Jawu523]

I still don’t understand how in Ostream you don’t have to specify Student::

[@nuut6976]

I get collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status when I run please help

[@victorkomolafe4982]

same here... Please have you solved the error yet

[@patapon3051]

Great voice and explanation, Thanks

[@telecomnuggets1590]

By no means an expert, but everything I have read said to not use "using" in the header files. It kind of breaks the basic reason for having Namespaces.

[@kareem.582]

Wow you're good at asmr

[@VictorGarcia-it8gc]

You are the man. Thank you for this.

[@ashish902]

Thanks. Really good explanation sir.

[@billal1147]

Thank you so much. Really good explanation and the video is useful.

[@cosmiclyrics2307]

I get the .h and .cpp file names as *Project_name/class.h* Its not a big issue but when I have a longer project name and multiple class names which are pretty same it gets a bit annoying. Like Movies/movies.h and Movies/movie.h How do I make it so that the file names show up like yours do?

[@hugomaia6449]

You are amazing, thank you!

[@liemh9290]

question: if i take .h ,file .cpp file, main.cpp file move to a new location do I HAVE to re-link it with the IDE like Codeblock or Visual? Is there a way around this?

[@albinbergstrand9416]

thanks i had a book discusin this and it did a horrible job explaning it. you made me understand at once.

[@belagore9862]

very informative thank you!

[@leepoking]

thanks man

[@natalietran6382]

Thank you so much! The video is really useful! :)

[@dadycharso4905]

hi there, actually i was wondering how to initialize constructor in main?

[@drprventura]

Do you mean how to "call a constructor?" In that case, given the Student class above, in main you could do something like: Student s1 {"Bob", 1.5 }; // in C++11 and later Student s1("Bob", 1.5); // in C++ prior to C++11

[@Synchr0nix]

the constructor is initialized automatically when you create an object of the class.

[@EissaAlahdul]

Thank you very very much!

[@nidhidevi6235]

is this necessary class name and header file name is same?

[@drprventura]

Great question! In fact, no the class name and filenames are not required to be the same in anyway. In fact there is nothing preventing you from defining multiple classes in the same file.

[@nidhidevi6235]

drprventura thanks 😃

bro just think about what you are going to say before you say it. stop with the "uh's" and "umms" and repeating your sentence 3 times in a row.
