    Example: #include What does the hpp mean? Is it just for the human eye? Is it any different to the compiler than a .h file? thanks

      It's the name of a header file for a corresponding .cpp file. With C, you have .c and .h files. With C++, you have .cpp and .hpp files. In the past 15 years, I've never used a .hpp file.

        It's just for the human eye, the compiler doesn't care.

          The compiler does not care. SOME (but not all) editors switch to C++ mode when the see *.hpp.
