The question always comes to our mind is why we include header files?
Ans: The answer is simple The function which we use can be define separately in .h files. .h is the extension of header files which contains the prototype of the function and also may contain the definition but for reason of abstraction we prefer to write prototype and definition in different file prototype in .h but not necessary can be written with some other extension also.
Then we write the definition to .c file compile those files make their object files and include header file to our main file and put both .h and .c file to the same folder then use the functions written in that header file. Some header files are already in-built which we can directly use like #include<stdio.h> it is a standard input output file which we can use for printf and scanf functions etc.
The advantage is our source code file's size is less. And if we want to give someone which functions are available we can give the header .h file only. No need to give .c file we can give object file so he/she will not need to understand how the implementation is happening.
