Help me

Question

Can anybody help me to understand this program

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

class myClass {
public:
void setName(string x) {
name = x;
}
string getName() {
return name;
}
private:
string name;
};

int main() {
myClass myObj;
myObj.setName("John");
cout << myObj.getName();

return 0;
}

Answer 1

Its encapsulation. You access to a private class member (name , in this case) , using methods (get and set).

get will return the name, and set will assign a new value.

You can do myObj.name = "something", because you can't access to a private member outside the class.
