protected, public and private

[karmendra_js]

I just got a lil confussed here. I want to access a variable using the object of the class. classXYZ objectname= new classXYZ(); objectname.variablename=100; so which access specifier is best for variablename. Thanks.

If that code is outside classXYZ, you have no choice, it must be declared public. Regards Senthil Regards Senthil _____________________________ My Blog | My Articles | WinMacro

public: Accessible outside the class. protected: Accessible to instances of the class, and to any classes derived from it. private: Accessible only by the class itself.

Accessing Class Variable outside class is not part of Good design.. always create Get and put function to access variable outside the class.
