Adding Source Code in Latex

One of my favorite sites for quick Latex reference is Wikibook. Today I got a new package listings which can insert directly form a source code file and generate necessary formatting in Latex document. Just use the package in your Latex document file :

\usepackage{listings}


And then use the following command where you want to place code :

\lstinputlisting{myfile.cpp}


For more details see the link :

Also take a look in the following link for writing pseudo-code and algorithms in Latex.
