C++ Developer - Friend Functions and Friend Classes

This video tutorial covers the concept of friend functions and friend classes in C++. It explains how these constructs allow non-member functions and external classes to access private and protected members of a class, which can be controversial due to encapsulation concerns. The tutorial includes a practical demonstration by creating a project called Friend Fun, where a rectangle class is used to show how friend functions and classes can access private data. The video concludes with a challenge to create an additional friend function.
