1.9: Accessing Data Members

The public data members are also accessed in the same way given however the private data members are not allowed to be accessed directly by the object. Accessing a data member depends solely on the access control of that data member.
This access control is given by Access modifiers in C++. There are three access modifiers : public, private and protected.

// C++ program to demonstrate  
// accessing of data members  
#include <bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 
class Geeks {     

   // Access specifier     
   public:        
      // Data Members        
      string geekname;        

      // Member Functions()        
      void printname()        
      {           
         cout << "Geekname is: " << geekname;
      }
}; 

 
int main()
{
     // Declare an object of class geeks
     Geeks obj1;
     // accessing data member
     obj1.geekname = "Steve Jobs";
     // accessing member function
     obj1.printname();

     return 0; 
} 

Output:

Geekname is: Abhi
