Attributes of the ClassAttributes of the Class

Class is like a container for two primary elements: attributes and methods. In this chapter we will learn about attributes and how to use them. For a student class common attributes will be name, gpa, email etc.

Understanding Attributes

Attributes, also often referred as properties or fields, they are the variables that are held within a class. Their job is to represent the state or qualities of objects created from the class.

code example

Public attributes and methods in a class can be directly accessed using the dot operator (.) on an object of the class.

cpp

main.cpp

Note

Don't be bothered about public keyword. It will be explained later.

Task

  • Add two more attributes to a student class.
  • Create an object of the class.
  • Assigned values to the attributes of created instance.
