How to define an object from Class A in Class B

Hello guys!
I'm a beginner in C++ programming and I've a (stupid, I think) doubt about how to pass an object's class into another class. Suppose we have these two classes:

Code:

---

• class A {...}
• class B {...}

---

and I want to use an object from A into B. For example:

Code:

---

• class B {
• A ab;
• [methods prototypes that include the object ab]
• method_B (A ab); //for example
• ...}

---

The question is, can I do this? Does it make sense, thinking about object-oriented programming?
Or, I could define an A's object in main() and after that I would call a method from B that would include A's object as argument?
My question is all about how to use object's from another class into another (functionally independent!) without "violating" the object oriented programming rules.
Thank you for any help,

Nothing wrong with one object containing another object.

I think you didn't understand my question.

My point is, can I use an A's class object into another class B?
Can I do that? Does it respect all the philosophy of object-oriented programming?

Of course!

It's called "Composition". It's used all the time.

By the way, Method_B wouldn't have to take ab as a parameter if you simply wanted to access the ab from that insteance of B.

Those questions have already been asked and answered.

The questions you have asked have justified the answers you have received so far. If people aren't understanding your question, or not giving you some specific information you're seeking, then you need to ask your questions more clearly.

Thanks, I got it!
