c++ "solutions" in projects

[blessman11]

What are "solutions" in c++ projects and whats the reason for having them? I first noticed them when working with game SDKs at uni and I found them strange. All I remember about them were that they were very useful but in the end I didn't get enough time to ask my lecture about it since it weren't my top priority at the time.

A solution is larger than a project. So, it can be used to hold or manage multiple projects at the same time. They help to manage and work with large applications that use multiple projects. Also, multiple solutions can use a project. So, solutions promote greater modularity.
