Will someone please explain the common usage and function of the
include statement in writing C programs for UNIX systems?
What are .h files?
Also, how and why does the include function work if it is always
commented out?

Unix, DOS, OS390, whatever - headers are headers. They're interface
descriptions for code modules.
What are .h files?
Headers (see above).

commented out?
There is no include function in C.
I suggest that you read pages 33 and 82 of K&R2.

Nothing to do with UNIX systems, they exist on all C implementations
What are .h files?
They are header files, containing macros, structs, typedefs, function
prototypes
Also, how and why does the include function work if it is always
commented out?
In C the # does not denote a comment (unlike in shell scripts), instead it
is kine of a marker for the preprocessor, one of parts used during
compilation.
In C comments start with /* and end with */, in the latest standard they may
also start with // and continue to the end of line (like in C++).

This really didn't look like homework. Just like a clueless newbie.

Do you think that the non-sense about preprocessing directives as comments
is part of a homework?
