I have made my class interface and saved it as "Factorial.h". I have then written the class implementation and saved it as a .cpp file. In the .cpp file I am trying to include my header file but I am getting the message "no such file or directory. I believe it is because I am not telling the IDE where the file is but I am unsure how to do that.
Am I doing it correctly and how do I tell the IDE where to find the .h file?
