Object Oriented Programming Logic
c++, oop
Solution
`private` in C++ means private to the class, not private to the object. Both interpretations are possible, indeed some languages chose the other. But most languages are like C++ in this and allow objects of the same class to acces another instance’s private members.
Problem
I am learning basic concepts of OOP in C++ and I came across a logical problem. ``` #include <iostream> #include <conio.h> using namespace std; class A { int i; public: void set(int x) { i=x; } int get() { return i; } void cpy(A x) { i=x.i; } }; int main() { A x, y; x.set(10); y.set(20); cout << x.get() << "\t" << y.get() << endl; x.cpy(y); cout << x.get() << "\t" << y.get() << endl; getch(); } ``` I wanted to know in the above code why am I able to access `x.i` [Line 19] ,it being a private member in the different object.Isn't the private scope restricted to the same class even if the object is passed as a parameter?
