Private Data Access

Say I have a class like this:

Code:

---

class Space{

public:
        Constructor();  // constructor
       
        ~Constructor();
       

private:
       
        Kids*P[3];
       

}; // end class Space

---

and another class like this

Code:

---

class Kids{

public:
        Constructor2();  // constructor
       
        ~Constructor2();
       

private:
       
              int friends;
            int familyMember;

}

---

if i had a member function of class Space how could i print what the array of pointers to class Kids points to from that member function in class Space?

Have a method in Kids that either returns the data, or prints it:
(the point of private encapsulation is that you cannot (shall not) directly access the data)

Code:

---

class Space
{
  public:
      Space();       
      ~Space();       

  private:       
      Kids* P[3];
};

class Kids
{
  public:
      Kids();
      ~Kids();

      int getFriends();
      int getFamilyMember();
      void printData();

  private:       
      int friends;
      int familyMember;
}

---

Btw, the constructor and the destructor have the same name as the class, not "Constructor".

I did what your saying and i sent as one of the parameters to printdata something like this printData(Space A)
and inside print i did this:

A.P[index]->friends but it gives me some type of error like segmentation or something

PrintData should print its own values, like this:

Code:

---

void Kids::PrintData()
{
  cout << friends << endl;
  cout << familyMember << endl;
}

---

Then, in the Space class you have a loop tha runs this method for all your kids objects.

Code:

---

void Space::PrintAllKids()
{
  for(int i=0; i<NrOfKids; i++)
  {
      P[i].PrintData();
  }
}
