Hi,

Really easy question. Lets say I have, for example these two programs:
quicksort.cpp
and
numbers.cpp

quicksort.cpp is obviously a quicksort program.

numbers.cpp will take an input of say, X numbers, and then sort them. I do not want to use the STL quicksort, and I do not want to retype what I typed in quicksort.cpp. So how would I use the code in quicksort.cpp so I don't have to 1.) use STL. 2.) Copy and paste my code in quicksort.cpp into numbers.cpp to utilize what I have already done.

Thank you.

PS: I apolygize for any mistakes I have made in the above posting.

I assume, since you call them both programs, that they both have a main(), which means you are going to have to do some rearrangin'. If you coded quicksort procedurally, you can move the quicksort() function declaration to quicksort.h and leave the function definition in quicksort.cpp. Make sure and remove main() from quicksort.cpp. Then include the quicksort.h in your numbers proggy so you can call the quicksort() function. Depending on your IDE/Compiler you will have to make sure that the quicksort object file is created and linked.

I personally find programming things like quicksort strictly OO a little tricky. I usually have to think about it for a few minutes to get my brain to bend it into shape. (or is it my brain that get's bent?)

Post your code, so we can have a gander, but make sure to use the code tags to retain indentation and spacing ( [C O D E][/ C O D E] -but without spaces!)
