Ah, C. Still **the** language of modern high-performance computing.

-Header files are an important part of c as they allow for the connection of c
-source files and can simplify code and definitions by seperating them into
-seperate files.
-
-Header files are syntaxtically similar to c source files but reside in ".h"
-files. They can be included in your c source file by using the precompiler
-command #include "example.h", given that example.h exists in the same directory
-as the c file.

-```c
-/* A safe guard to prevent the header from being defined too many times. This */
-/* happens in the case of circle dependency, the contents of the header is */
-/* already defined. */
-#ifndef EXAMPLE_H /* if EXAMPLE_H is not yet defined. */
-#define EXAMPLE_H /* Define the macro EXAMPLE_H. */
-
-/* Other headers can be included in headers and therefore transitively */
-/* included into files that include this header. */
-#include <string.h>
