Question

I’ve created a header file “foo.h” as well as an source file “bar.c” but can’t seem to import bar.c into foo.h.

Is this possible? If so, could someone please point me in the right direction?

Answer 1

You’ve got it backwards… .h files exist to tell other programs what a .c file contains. The .c implements the things listed in the header.

Then, when a different program wants to use some of the stuff you implemented, they #include your header. When it compiles, another program called the linker is also run. This connects the functions from the header you used to their implementations.
