Chapter 2, Problem 1PS

The purpose of a header file, such as stdio.h, is to store a program's source code.

a. True

b. False

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given: A header file.

To find: Whether the primary objective of a header file such as ‘stdio.h’ is to contain the program’s source code or not.

Solution:

A header file such as ‘stdio.h’ contains the program's source code of certain elements that can be reused in order to avoid writing the same code again and again. For example: The header file is “#include�.

This statement includes a header file termed ‘stdio.h’ in the program.

The file ‘stdio.h’ contains only the source code of many standard input output functions but not the whole code.

Including this file in the program would allow the programmer to skip the coding of certain elements, but they would still have to write the main part of the code which will serve as the code’s prime objective.

Thus, it is not the main objective of a header file such as ‘stdio.h’ to contain the program’s source code.
