Category: Importing Libraries | Language: C++

To import a library in C++, you need to use the #include preprocessor directive followed by the name of the library. The library name is enclosed in angle brackets <> or double quotes "".

Here are some examples:

#include  //Import the standard input-output library

int main() {
std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl;
return 0;
}

This code imports the standard input-output library and uses the cout object to print "Hello, world!" to the console.

#include  //Import the vector library

int main() {
std::vector myVec = {1, 2, 3}; //Create a vector
myVec.push_back(4); //Add 4 to the end of the vector
return 0;
}

This code imports the vector library and uses the std::vector class to create a vector of integers. It then uses the push_back function to add an element to the end of the vector.

#include "myHeader.h" //Import a custom header file

int main() {
myFunction(); //Call a function from the custom header file
return 0;
}

This code imports a custom header file named myHeader.h using double quotes. It then calls a function named myFunction that is defined in the header file.
