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...

Rsn answer is perfect write.Shivani you are wrong.
the visiblity of members default public in structure,
whereas in class its private as all know.
So please don't make myths here.
for the detail answer for explanation read the following link.

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]

Define a constructor?
Write a program and call it sortcheck.cpp which receives 10 numbers from input and checks whether these numbers are in ascending order or not. You are not allowed to use arrays. You should not define more than three variables

A prime number is a number which is divisible only by itself and 1. Examples of the first few primes are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11. Consider writing a program which can generate prime numbers for you. Your program should read in and set a maximum prime to generate and a minimum number to start with when looking for primes. This program should be able to perform the following tasks: 1. Read the maximum number from user (keyboard input) to look for primes. The program should not return any primes greater than this number. 2. Read the minimum number from user (keyboard input) to look for primes. The program should not return any primes less than this number. 3. Generate and print out every prime number between the maximum prime and minimum number specified by the user.
