When you write a program that uses a base class that has derived classes, do you declare the base class and the derived classes separatelly in different .h files, and then do you implement them in different .cpp files, or you declare the base class and the derived ones within one single .h file and implement the base class and the derived ones in one .cpp file ?<br />
Can you chose how to do that also by the size or number of derived classes , or is it a good programming style to go allways one way ?

Compiling

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
