That has nothing to do with .CPP or .H files; they do not have equivalents in Basic where the source is stored in a single file.
And the C++ code for your basic is trivial:

C++

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
#define HEAD 666;
int main()
{
    int h = HEAD;
    h = h + 1;
    cout << h;
    return 0;
}

It may seenm trivial but is your simple and very clear code place in HEAD.cpp or in HEAD.h?

.CPP contains the code, .H is header files which do not contain code, just definitions.
Like maybe

#define HEAD 666

or

const int HEAD = 666

would be in .H so it's "shared" by every file that needs it.

Do yourself a favour, and get a book (or better a course) on C++ - just asking random questions and trying to pick it up as you go along is not the best way to learn, or even close. And from a BASIC standpoint? A very bad idea indeed - forget everything you know about BASIC and start from scratch or you will get confused.
