# Headers / CPP Files
|
|
|
|
In C++, organizing code effectively involves splitting programs into header and source files. Header files (with extensions like `.h` or `.hpp`) declare interfaces such as classes, functions, and variables, acting as blueprints for other parts of the code. Source files (with the `.cpp` extension) then implement the functionality declared in the headers. This separation supports modularity, reduces compilation times through separate compilation, and enhances code readability and maintainability by clearly defining interfaces and implementations.
