What is the difference between a class in C++ and a structure in C ? It looks pretty similar for me.

Answer 1

MEET MEHTA Yes. C++ structs on the other hand are just classes without access specifiers. There are a few more differences on structs between C and C++.

Answer 2

That class example was of js language.

I am providing you C++ class example to better understand that we can use functions in classes.

Answer 3

MEET MEHTA Your claim that you cannot have functions inside structs appear to be untrue.

Answer 4

Fair enough. The conversation here was going on as if structs were a construct specific to C, so hopefully we have a bit more context in here.

Answer 5

Is the following correct ? just to be sure I really got it.
- in C you can just declare variable in a structure.
- in C++ you can have variable and function in a structure.
- in C++ you can have variables, function, and access specifier (public, private) in a class.

Answer 6

Georges FRIRE
Sounds about right. Due to the lack of access specifiers in structs, their members are always public by default. I think Meet covered that for you.

Answer 7

Yes but you cant use methods (i.e function inside classes) in struct in C language.

Answer 8

In struct you cant use functions.

You will learn difference between them as you start buildings project and start using classes in your program.

Answer 9

Hatsy Rei

In C struct we cant use function

Right?

Answer 10

Hatsy Rei

He was having query for C struct and we cant have function in them.

Answer 11

thank you for your answer. So the struct in C is not the same as a struct in C++ ? I haven't got that before neither.

Answer 12

MEET MEHTA, Hatsy Rei
thank you for your answer. it's much clearer for me now.
stay amazing! :-)

Answer 13

but if I do something like this
struct book {
int numberofpage;
char title[50];
// etc
};
does it look logical ?

Answer 14

functions is notnised

Answer 15

There are some main difference between struct in c and c++:
In c you can only create data members in the struct while in c++ you can create functions as well.
In both c and c++ the all data members and functions are private by default.
While in classes in c++ it's your choice to make data members either private, public or protected but by default, all data members and functions are private in classes.
Hope it will help you.
