Are ‘private’ or ‘public’ keywords in ANSI C (or any other C for that matter), or were they only added in C++ (and Java, C#, …)?
privateis not a C89 or C99 keyword. See C Programming/Reference Tables on Wikibooks*.Also, C has nothing** to do with Java and C# (and, really, not C++ either). However, the converse is not true — C++ grew from C, for example.
* Better reference needed!
** Actually, C89 ‘borrowed’ the
constandvolatilekeywords from C++. Likewise, C99 ‘borrowed’ theinlinekeyword, and also added_Booland_Complex(like C++’sboolandcomplex, respectively) [citation-needed].
