Why does obj.bal give a compile error?
Short answer. bal is private.
What should usually be public?
Member functions.
private vs public
| Label | Used by |
|---|---|
| private | class only |
| public | anywhere |
| no label | private |
Remember
| Data: private |
| Functions: public |
| End class with }; |
Why can main not use a private member? Access labels decide who may use a member. Private works only in the class. Public works anywhere. No label means private. Keep data private. Make functions public. End with a semicolon.
