Question

I need to write a header file for my C++ code:


#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class Fraction
{

   private:
   int numerator, denominator; 
   public:

   Fraction()
   {
        numerator = 1;
        denominator = 1;
   }


   Fraction(int n, int d)
   {
      numerator = n;
      if (d==0) {
         cout << "ERROR: ATTEMPTING TO DIVIDE BY ZERO" << endl;
         exit(0);
      }
      else
         denominator = d;
   }

    Fraction Sum(Fraction otherFraction)
    {
        int n = numerator*otherFraction.denominator+otherFraction.numerator*denominator;
        int d = denominator*otherFraction.denominator;
        return Fraction(n/gcd(n,d),d/gcd(n,d));
    }

    int gcd(int n, int d)
    {
        int remainder;
        while (d != 0)
        {
            remainder = n % d;
            n = d;
            d = remainder;
        }
        return n;
    }

 

    void show()
    {
      if (denominator == 1)
        cout << numerator << endl;
      else
         cout << numerator << "/" << denominator << endl;;
    }
};

int main()
{
   Fraction a(1,2);
   Fraction b(1,4);
   Fraction c;

   c = a.Sum(b); 
   c.show();

   return 0;
}

Expert Solution
Theory

Header files also known as library files is a file with extension .h which contains C++ function declarations and macro definitions.

 

Uses of header files in C++ programming:

It declares the interfaces which are going to be used in the program.

Each time when such declarations are needed in several different source files, it is a good idea to create a header file for them. It prevents the re-declaration again and again.

It eliminates the labor of finding errors in code in each source file.

 

We can create a customized header file.Create a file with .h extension. In main include the header file along with system defined header file.

Syntax:

#include "filename.h"
