C++ classes

Type of data structure

A class in C++ is a user-defined type or data structure declared with any of the keywords class, struct or union that has data and functions as its members whose access is governed by the three access specifiers private, protected or public. By default access to members of a C++ class declared with the keyword class is private. The private members are not accessible outside the class; they can be accessed only through member functions of the class. The public members form an interface to the class and are accessible outside the class.
