Compiling and running multiple source C++ code files in repl.it

Hey @AdityaRawat28, welcome to the forums!

You can only run 1 file at once, to change the file you’re running, you should click on the 3 buttons, select hidden files, scroll down and click on the .replit file and change the string in the entrypoint line!

To add:

I don’t know how C++ works but you may be able to import stuff into one file.

/home/runner/Patterns/./patterns2.cpp:4: multiple definition of `main'; /tmp/main-cacca6.o:/home/runner/Patterns/./main.cpp:4: first defined here
clang-12: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

No problem, thanks anyways

It seems based on the error that you declare themain function in multiple of those files, this creates an error.
Posting a link to your Repl would help the community troubleshoot with you. :slight_smile:

You can use .hpp files to do maybe what you need.
See: HPP – The C++ Header File

Could I have the Repl link? If you do not want to share it simply private message me on here by clicking my username.

Thanks for trying to help out but the issue is not with any specific repl so i don’t know what to share exactly.

Did you try H++ files?

Remove or rename the main function from one file
