explain and give examples on how to use:

Classes in C++

Structures in C++

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

First of all, one must know the basic differences between the structure and the classes so as to understand its basics and to implement them. So, the basic and the biggest difference is that :

Members of a class are private by default but the members of the structure are public. Like if you want to change the data only if the person is authorized to change the code or we can say you want to hide some data from the user and don't allow the user to change it then you go with the private modifier of the class but you cant do this when you are using structures.

Class is a reference type data type whereas the structure is the value data type.

 

The examples of different programs using classes in objects in C++ are given below:
