Header Files

Header files contain declarations.

When a program uses items that are in standard libraries or which are defined in some other user file, a header file is included so that the compiler can see the declaration of this external item.

We need to include a header file for C++ I/O. The name of the file is iostream:

    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;

    int main()
    {
      ...
      return 0;
    }
