objects and classes in inheritance

Hi guys,
I have just made a program of class in which their are base and derived classes . The program is as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------

Code:

---

class Vehicle
{
private:
char Name;
string id;

public:
void getName();
void setName();
void setid();
void getid();

};


main()
{
Vehicle veht;
// These are the functions I am using to access the data members of the class Vehicle/
veht.getName();
veht.getid();

}

---

---------------------------------------------------------------
In the main() part of the program I have made the object "veht" for the class Vehicle so I can access the "Name" and "id" of the class Vehicle from outside of the class.
Now will I be able to access the private data members "Name" and "id" of the class Vehicle using the functions that I have written in main()?


Pls correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks

Do what laserlight said in your earlier thread and then rethink this question.

Is this your real code or just some pseudo code?

You're on the right track, but there are two problems at the moment:

#1: The functions getName() and getid() each need to return something. In this case it's Name and id, respectively. Since they need to return something, they're not going to work if you declare their return types as void. That's only used for functions that won't return anything.

#2: The functions getName() and getid() will basically do and only do whatever you tell them. In the code you've provided, you haven't given them any instrunctions (bodies). Even if you didn't declare them to be void, we couldn't tell if you can get veht's Name and id out of them, because we don't see those instructions, and because the names of the functions are irrelevant to their functionality in terms of what the computer cares about.
