<h1>Views in the C/C++ perspective</h1>

<p>The C/C++ views are panels that help you perform the tasks involved in creating C/C++ programs.
The <b>C/C++</b> perspective displays these panels in a single Eclipse window. </p>

<b>Changing Views:</b> 
<ul>
	<li>You can add views to a perspective. From the menu bar choose  <b>Window > Show View > Other</b> and select a new view from the <b>Show View</b> dialog.</li>
