Answer / rsn
Hello Shivani,
I think both struct and class in C++ are quite the same
except for the fact that, members in struct are public by
default whereas they are private for class.
Moreover struct also supports inheritance,polymorphism
etc...etc...

Answer / ramesh kasi
The only difference is related to the default access
specifier.
The members of a structure have public access by default.
The members of a calss have private access by default.

Answer / ajit
In structures by default the member variables considered as
public where as in classes by default data members are
considered as private.
Structures doesn't provide the concept data encapsulation
but classes provides it.

Answer / shivani
In Class Members are private by default.
In Structure Member are public by default.
structures are value typed where as classes are refernce
typed
Class can be inherited But Structure can't be inherited
In structures we cannot initilase the variable during the
declaration while in classes we can.
Structure s does not support polymorphism while class does
Structure can be declared without a tag at the first time,
but not in case of class.
e.g. struct { variables; }(struct variable list); [It would
not raise any error while comlitation]
class { access specifier: variable list; access specifier:
vari....
}; [it will cause an error while compilation]

write a program in c++ to implement stack using functions in header file stack.h
What is endl?
write a program that reads in a file and counts the number of lines, words, and characters. Your program should ask the user to input a filename. Open the file and report an error if the file does not exist or cannot be opened for some other reason. Then read in the contents of the file and count the number of lines, words, and characters in the file. Also print additional information about the file, such as the longest and shortest words, and longest and shortest lines. For simplicity, we define a word to be one or more characters ending with white space (a space, tab, carriage return, etc.). Functions for checking the types of characters can be found in the ctype.h header file, so you want to include this header file in your program. For example, the sentence below could be all that is in a file. This sentence IT 104 is taught in C++. has 32 characters, one line, and six words. The shortest line is 32 characters. The longest line is 32 characters. The shortest word is 2 characters. The longest word is 6 characters
