We can access the private members only from the same class, whereas, the protected members can be accessed from the same class and from its derived classes. But a friend function can access the private and protected members of the granting … Continue reading “Friend Function in C++”

Method chaining is a mechanism of calling multiple functions (methods) in a single statement. It helps us reduce number of lines in the code and increase code elegancy. And in most cases it increases the code readability. Here in the class, c1, we have 3 member functions. First two functions set two variables – x … Continue reading “Method Chaining in C++”

In C++, class member functions deal with primarily two types of variables – member variables and input variables. We don’t need to take special care in accessing them. C++ has a requirement that all member variables will have unique names. Similarly, all input variables will have unique names also. But an input variable of a … Continue reading “Variable Name Ambiguity in Class Member Function”
