[Help] Differenct Between (Class) and (Struct) ???

Differenct Between (Class) and (Struct) ???

Is there any difference between struct and class?
Like :

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;


class box{      
private:
	double height,length,width;
	char label;
public:

	double volume()            
	{
		return height*width*length;
	}
	double SA()                
	{
		return 2*height*width + 2*height*length + 2*length*width;
	}
	void Increment_Height(double x)
	{
		height += x;
	}
	double Get_Height()
	{
		return height;        
	}
	
};                              
int main()
{
	srand(time(NULL));
	box me;                     
   system("pause");
   return 0;

}

if i change class by strut, no difference occur, so is there any difference i dont know? sorry im still learning, but in the end of c++ .

People tend to use structs just as a simple data structure without functions, methods, etc.. Even tho you can use it just like a class.

There is a different there and there but nothing really major.

Pretty sure someone will jump in a give you a more detailed example and explanation...

structs' members are public by default while a class' members are private by default. i bet you didn't think it was that simple.

Just what @Void said, probably you'll prefer using structs as they're public by default and you don't have to type it every time (what u probably do)

That makes no sense. You should always say if it public or private... always. It is good practice. (This is the reason why I didnt bother posting that difference)

What I'm trying to say is :

Code:

 

class MyClass {
public:
MyClass(int a, double b, float c, char *d); 
int a;
double b;
float c;
char* d;
}

So, if isn't supposed to anything be private why use class instead of struct ?

I think classes can hold structures and functions as well. I don't work with classes or structures much myself so I wouldn't know fully.

struct and class are equivalent, except for default access (struct - public) (class - private)

In C++ there's no difference really (Except public/private defaults). I heard in C it had memory differences

There is no classes in C. C is not Object oriented

Well shit, I read it wrong. Just realized. Then I meant C++

@'Bruno @Void @Cernunnos @dream90 @[MPGH]Kenshin13 @lol98lol98
lolz sorry just after posting this thread i figured out that just like void said, classes are private by default and strukt are public by default..
so i dint open this thread again

i even forgot that i posted one

Thx all i apretiate ur help guys
