The differences between a class
and a struct
in C++ is:
struct
members and base classes/structs arepublic
by default.class
members and base classes/struts areprivate
by default.
Both classes and structs can have a mixture of public
, protected
and private
members, can use inheritance and can have member functions.
I would recommend you:
- use
struct
for plain-old-data structures without any class-like features; - use
class
when you make use of features such asprivate
orprotected
members, non-default constructors and operators, etc.
