Thread: Effective usage of Classes

Heres a usefull class.

Code:

class IrcBot
{
    public:
        IrcBot();
        void Login();
        void Process();
        void HandleRecv(const std::string &toRecv);
        void Set_Socket(const SOCKET &sock);
        bool isOper(const std::string &recvd); 
    private:
        void loadOps();
        void loadNick();
        void splitRecv(std::string &recv, std::string &whoSent, std::string &msgSent, std::string &whatSent);
        std::string nick;
        SOCKET serverSocket;
        std::vector<std::string> ops;
};

I tend to use classes whenever I have a group of functions that seem related to each other some way. For example, say you're writing a program to manage files of some description, you are likely to have a lot of functions that read & write etc, so you may find it makes your program more readable if you encapsulate them.
