+## Include Guards
+
+If you are writing more than one class, you may run into strange compiler errors when you compile everything. This may be due to a problem with including your class files, which can be solved as follows: for a header file called myclass.h add these two lines at the very top of the header file:
+
+```cpp
+#ifndef __MYCLASS_H
+#define __MYCLASS_H
+```
+

+
+```cpp
+#endif
+```
