Every class member has an accessibility level that determines where the member will be visible. There are three of them available in C++: public, protected, and private. The default access level for class members is private. To change the access level for a section of code, an access modifier is used, followed by a colon. Every field or method that comes after this label will have the specified access level, until another access level is set or the class declaration ends.

class MyClass

{

  int myPrivate;

  public:

   int myPublic;

   void publicMethod();

};

Private Access

All members regardless ...
