| 14 | text format to a format that a computer understands. After a source code

| 29 | <para>cpp pre-processes a source file, such as including
|
|---|
| 30 | the contents of header files into the source file. It's a good idea to
|
|---|
| 31 | not do this manually to save a lot of time. Someone just inserts a line
|
|---|
| 32 | like #include <filename>. The preprocessor inserts the
|
|---|
| 33 | contents of that file into the source file. That's one of the things a
|
