C++: Can you access private data members of a class from outside the class?
Can you access private data members of a class from outside the class?
Yes. This program shows how.
#include <iostream.h>
class emp
private :
int i ;
public :
emp( )
{
i = 10 ;
}
} ;
void main( )
emp *p = new emp ;
int *pi = (int*) p ;
cout << *pi ;
*pi = 20 ;
cout << *pi ;
}
The pointer to the class is typecasted in an integer pointer. With the help of this pointer private data member 'i' is accessed in main( ).
