Regarding C++ Include another class

Question

I have two files:

File1.cpp
File2.cpp

File1 is my main class which has the main method, File2.cpp has a class call ClassTwo and I want to c

Answer 1

When you want to convert your code to result( executable, library or whatever ), there is 2 steps:
1) compile
2) link
In first step compiler should now about some things like sizeof objects that used by you, prototype of functions and maybe inheritance. on the other hand linker want to find implementation of functions and global variables in your code.

Now when you use ClassTwo in File1.cpp compiler know nothing about it and don't know how much memory should allocate for it or for example witch members it have or is it a class and enum or even a typedef of int, so compilation will be failed by the compiler. adding File2.cpp solve the problem of linker that look for implementation but the compiler is still unhappy, because it know nothing about your type.

So remember, in compile phase you always work with just one file( and of course files that included by that one file ) and in link phase you need multiple files that contain implementations. and since C/C++ are statically typed and they allow their identifier to work for many purposes( definition, typedef, enum class, ... ) so you should always identify you identifier to the compiler and then use it and as a rule compiler should always know size of your variable!!
