Quiz on access specifiers, private, public and protected access Specifiers.
Access specifiers are keywords in object-oriented programming languages that set the accessibility of classes, methods, and other members. They allow us to determine which class members are accessible to other classes and functions, and which are not.
There are three types of access specifiers in C++: Public: Public members are accessible from anywhere in the program. Private: Private members are only accessible from within the class in which they are declared. Protected: Protected members are accessible from within the class in which they are declared, and from any derived classes.
The default access specifier in C++ is private. This means that if you do not specify an access specifier for a member, it will be private.
Access specifiers are an important part of object-oriented programming. They allow us to control how our classes are used, and to protect our data from unauthorized access.
