C++ public Keyword
Example
The difference between public and private attributes:
class MyClass {
public: // Public access specifier
int x; // Public attribute
private: // Private access specifier
int y; // Private attribute
};
int main() {
MyClass myObj;
myObj.x = 25; // Allowed (public)
myObj.y = 50; // Not allowed (private)
return 0;
}
Definition and Usage
The public keyword is an access specifier that declares attributes and methods as public, which means that they can be accessed from anywhere outside of the class.
