C++ Programming By Example - Differences Between Classes and Structures

The video tutorial discusses the differences between classes and structures, focusing on access modifiers and compatibility with the C language. It explains that classes have a default private access modifier, while structures have a default public one. The video also covers why structures are still used for compatibility with C code and provides guidance on when to use classes or structures based on design goals and personal preference.

What is the default access modifier for a class?

• Private

• Internal

• Protected

• Public

In the context of structures, what is the default access modifier?

• Public

• Protected

• Private

• Internal

Why are structures still used in programming?

• They have more features than classes

• They maintain compatibility with C language

• They are easier to write

• They are faster than classes

When might you choose to use a structure over a class?

• When you need to implement complex logic

• When you only need to store data

• When you need inheritance

• When you need polymorphism

What is a common use for structures in programming?

• To store plain data objects

• To manage database connections

• To perform calculations

• To handle user input
