In C#, are struct members private by default?

Question

A SoloLearn quiz says Yes. A scan of the online Microsoft docs yielded nothing on this question.

Answer 1

Good reference. Thanks! For anyone else curious about this, the short answer seems to be:

"The access level for class members and struct members, including nested classes and structs, is private by default."

Answer 2

Hey Eric... I was wondering about that when I came across this question some time ago. I was able to verify this using a quick test and I found documentation on this in:

- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/classes-and-structs/access-modifiers

Section: Class and Struct Accessibility
> Struct members, including nested classes and structs, can be declared as public, internal, or private.

EDIT: I meant to paste this line from the link:

>The access level for class members and struct members, including nested classes and structs, is private by default.

Answer 3

@Eric... You saw that too. I must have copied the wrong line not paying attention. I just noticed the line I used didn't answer your question. I'm glad you pulled the correct one from the link.

Answer 4

Yes in C# Language the default access level of members of Struct type is Private.

Answer 5

The access level for class members and struct members, including nested classes and structs, is private by default. Private nested types are not accessible from outside the containing type.
