.hpp?

[rhennig]

Hello guys. I'm starting with cpp and i have a doubt referred at the .hpp files. I have maked a program with a main file in a .cpp and all the other classes in .hpp files included by this "main.cpp" file. This works fine at this program but i know that this .hpp files are for headers... can anyone explain me why I should not make that on this way? I can have problems makin it on this way? Thanks for the answers and sry for the bad english!

Really good article! Thanks again, but i still with a doubt... why should i not put the classes in a .hpp file? Will i have real problems with it? (performance or other disadvantages...?)
