File naming conventions
- [Instructor] The state of the file-naming convention in C++ is unclear. Everyone pretty much agrees that the C++ code file should have the .cpp extension. But the two big movers in the C++ community, the ISO C++ Committee and the Boost Library Team, disagree on what the extension for header files should be. The style guide for each suggests a different extension. The committee prefers the .h and the Boost folks prefer .hpp. Either will work, since the compiler isn't choosy. I generally use the .h extension since it is the default for my editor.
