Compiling and Linking help

[Aseem Rastogi]

to keep code clean and simple, generally function implementations are 
not written in .h files. they should only contain declarations and then 
.cpp files should have implementations which can then be linked.

btw, making a () function inline could help. but it should be avoided 
keeping in mind above.

aseem.
