i get an error saying there is no file in directory for header.h

Did you perhaps mean to use double quotes instead of angle brackets @ line 1?

Also, using namespaces in headers = bad form, that.

Try using double quotes around header.h instead of <>
metulburr (585)
ah thanks
yeah i know using namespace in headers is not a good idea, but it was just a test, me playing around tring to learn bits and parts of c++

another question about headrs...
Does the header file have to be "saved" as the name that you include into the main program, or can the "saved" name be anything?
Albatross (4553)
Yes @ the header file needs to be saved as the name that's included in the C++ file. Else, the compiler won't know what you're referring to.
