Thread: Stupid Question for new C prog

I've been working a lot in c++ and now i have to write my assignment in C.
Can C use classes (like be able to create new data types with public and private members?) Or do i basically have to do everything using structures?

No and yes.

C does not support classes; in fact, C++ was originally called C with Classes. Structs are available though.

In C, use structs as classes. When you want to make a member function, declare it as an independent function, and make it take an additional "this" pointer.

and instead of

Code:

SomeClass c;
c.someMember(1, 2);

do

Code:

struct SomeStruct c;
someMember(&c, 1, 2);
