If you are aware of inheritence using classes then replace the class keyword with struct.(Note: Try this with C++ only) Ex: struct a{ } ; struct a : public b{ private: ---- protected : ----- public : ----- } ;

[C Mahesh]

If you have worked with classes then replace class with struct. Ex: struct a{ } ; struct b : public a{ };

The basic difference between a class and struct is with respect to scope. The class members are default private and struct members are public. In addition to this a struct should be used the way it is done in c and use class where you need attributes and behaviours.

so if i start giving always public,private and protected modifier then i can do everything what ever am doing in class and i can replace the class with structure where ever am explicitly specifying the acess modifiers .... is it??? Thanks

You don't even need the public keyword there - with struct inheritance is public by default.
