Important C and C++ Header Files
If you do a directory listing of your Visual C++ INCLUDE subdirectory, the frequently used header files shown in Table 15-1 should be present.
Table 15-1: Important Header Files for and C++
Header File
Description
CONIO.H
Console and port I/O
CTYPE.H*
Character functions
IO.H
File handling and low-level I/O
MATH.H*
Math functions
STDIO.H
Stream routines for C
STDLIB.H*
Standard library routines
IOSTREAM.H
Stream routines for C++
STRING.H*
String functions
TIME.H*
Date and time utilities
There will be others, too, but these are the header files you will use repeatedly. Since these files are in ASCII format, you may want to print a copy of their contents for a reference. You will find that some header files are short, while others are quite long. All contain function prototypes, and many contain built-in macros.
This chapter will illustrate a use for many popular functions prototyped in the header files marked with an asterisk in the preceding table. These include the system-independent functions prototyped in STDLIB.H, CTYPE.H, MATH.H, STRING.H, and TIME.H. Other functions contained in STDIO.H, IOSTREAM.H, and so on, have already been used throughout the book.
