structures are definately part of C++.
You can't really say which is "better" or "worse", each
has it's own unique set of abilities...
Data Protection in classes is available, and the methods which
call them can be included in the class as well, there by allowing
for encapsulation.
Structs in the most general of senses allow for a grouping of multiple
data values into a single data type. Sure, they can have methods
attached to them as well, however, when it comes to attaching methods,
a class would be better.
I've prolly confused the hell outta ya.... And I'm sorry for it, but to make it
simple, here is the guideline I use:
Stucture - When you need a new data-type as a collection
Class - When the data is to be modified by a specific set of methods, or
when data-protection is a key issue.
Hope this helps in your quest, best of luck...
