E.g. class A { public: int a; A() { a=0; } }; // name this file as classA.h // in another file: #include <iostream> #include "classA.h" int main() { A obj; std::cout << obj.a; }

notice the difference of the include syntax @hatsy posted. #include <xxxxx> searches the header file in the include-path of your project settings #include "xxxxx" searches the header file in the folder of your project

You will need to use headers and source file in a IDE. Files cannot be linked on SL Codeblocks https://www.sololearn.com/discuss/608805/?ref=app Visual studio https://www.sololearn.com/discuss/410578/?ref=app

Also you need to include the header into your .cpp file(s).
