Struct vs CLasses....When to use one over the other?

Question

I am new to oops in cpp and seen structs before ...Both the data types seems kind of similar ....SO why would we need to use one over the other...?

Answer 1

There are no major difference except for one...
In a class the members are private by default...(i.e they can't be used outside the class)
In a struct the members arepublic by default (i.e you can use them outside the struct too)
And use this for reference as this ? has been asked way too many times :)

Answer 2

I would say that classes are but tricky so you can probably use the structures as they have all the members public by default and in a class all the members are private unless we declare them to be public
