What is CPP file?
CPP files are also known as C++ Source Code files. It is a file extension that is used to store the source code of a program written in the C++ programming language. The CPP file extension was first introduced by the Borland company and it is now used as a default extension for all C++ source code files. CPP files are often used as an intermediate file for software development, but can be opened with any text editor or IDE. Since they contain source code, which is text-based, they can be easily read and edited with free software like Notepad, TextEdit, Gedit and many others. We should always keep in mind that these files may include sensitive information such as passwords and other security measures that we should never reveal to anyone without permission from the owner
