Features of OOP

(Access Modifiers)
Access Modifiers in C++

 Access Modifiers or Access Specifiers in a class are used to set the accessibility
of the class members.
 It sets some restrictions on the class members not to get directly accessed by the
outside functions.
 There are 3 types of access modifiers available in C++:
Public
Private
Protected
 If we do not specify any access modifiers for the members inside the class then
by default the access modifier for the members will be Private.
Access Modifier :: Public

 All the class members declared under public will be avail.


 The data members and member functions declared public can be accessed able to
everyone by other classes too.
 The public members of a class can be accessed from anywhere in the program
using the direct member access operator (.) with the object of that class.
 In the below program the data member radius is public so we are allowed to
access it outside the class.
Access Modifier :: Public
Access Modifier :: Private

 The class members declared as private can be accessed only by the functions
inside the class.
 They are not allowed to be accessed directly by any object or function outside the
class.
 Only the member functions or the friend functions are allowed to access the
private data members of a class.
Access Modifier :: Private
Access Modifier :: Private

 The output of the below program will be a compile time error because we are not
allowed to access the private data members of a class directly outside the class.
 However, we can access the private data members of a class indirectly using the
public member functions of the class.
Access Modifier :: Private
Access Modifier :: Protected

 Protected access modifier is similar to that of private access modifiers.


 The difference is that the class member declared as Protected are inaccessible
outside the class but they can be accessed by any subclass(derived class) of that
class.
Access Modifier :: Protected
Access Modifier
 public - members are accessible from outside the class
 private - members cannot be accessed (or viewed) from outside the class
 protected - members cannot be accessed from outside the class, however, they can
be accessed in inherited classes.
