Simplified C++ #3: Compilation Process | Preprocessing | Object Code | Linking | Why Header Files?

Find the full playlist here:

In this video we'll be discussing about the C++ Compilation Process.
We'll see an example with the gcc compiler
The compilation process happens in three stages:
1. Preprocessing(Evaluation of all preprocessors)
2. Translation of High Level Source Code to Object Code
3. Linking of Object Files to generate the executable

We will also see a basic overview of the definition, declaration and header files and will also know why header files are important.
