c++ include difference between quotes and brackets

In practice, the difference is in the location where the preprocessor 
searches for the included file.

For #include <filename> the preprocessor searches in an implementation 
dependent manner, normally in search directories pre-designated by the 
compiler/IDE. This method is normally used to include standard library 
header files.

For #include "filename" the preprocessor searches first in the same directory 
as the file containing the directive, and then follows the search path used 
for the #include <filename> form. This method is normally used to include 
programmer-defined header files.
