Multiple Files

Since the default code is made of multiple files, it requires a specific linking script, correct? I am a programmer that can make simple VB, C, C++, and Java programs work but I don't understand much about coding theory. Can anyone explain what the benefit of multiple files is?

Along that same line, the linker provides a way for a method in one file call a method in another file, right? How are these linking scripts made?

Any answer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Eric
