Class

Definition: A class is the foundation of OOP, it allows us to create a particular data structure, providing member variables and attributs, and implementing member functions or methods. Coding example:

class student
{
  private:
    string name;
    string major;
    int numClasses; 
    double GPA;
  public:
   //constructor
   Student(){
      name = "Nobody";
      major = "CMPS";
      numClasses = 0;
      GPA = 0.0;
   }
   //accessor method
   string getName(){
       //because this only has access to private
      return name;
   }
   //Mutator function to set the numClasses
   void setNumClasses(int classes){
      //Only stores if valid
      if(classes >=0 && classes <=6)
          numClasses = classes;
   }
   //other member function 
   bool isHonorRoll(){
      retunr GPA >= 3.0;
   }
};
