Thread: Classes and structures

The only reason I'm doing that is because I'm currently taking a course in C++ and the instructor requires this in a project! Personally I think using them together is not beneficial *shurg *(at this point)...but what do I know I've only been doing this for 3 months. Thanks for the help! MCorn

Sorry, Xaviar Khan. I repeat, the ONLY difference between structs and classes in C++ is the default member access.
Copy, compiler, and run the following program. If I haven't screwed up someplace it will run just fine, functions and all in the struct.

Code:

#include <iostream>

struct example
{
  example(int);
  void increment();
  int getNum() const;

  private:
     int num;
}

example::example(int input) : num(input) {}

example::increment();
{
   num += 24;
}

int example::getNum()
{
  return num;
}

struct example2 : public example
{
   void increment();
}

void example2::increment()
{
   num += 1;
}

int main()
{
   example ex(2);
   cout << ex.getNum();
   ex.increment();
   cout << ex.getNum();

  example2 ex2(2);
  ex2.increment();
  cout << ex2.getNum();

   return 0;
}
