Using struct we can achieve all the functionalities of a class : constructors, destructors

Using struct we can achieve all the functionalities of a class:

  • constructors, destructors
  • member functions, static functions.
  • overloaded functions, virtual functions
  • public / private / protected access specifiers.
  • operators

The only difference are the default access rights: private for class, public for struct.
Why do we need a Class then ?

    IIRC when C++ was created (as C with classes), a design goal was to only ever add functionality, so the initial idea was to have a class as in C++, and a struct as in C. But then things got blurred, and in the following 20 years struct “mutated” into some kind of class.
