RE: Member Access

C. Public members of a class can be accessed by everyone

True.

Look here

class CTest

{

public: int m_n;

};

class COther

{

public:

COther(CTest &obj)

{

obj.m_n = 1; //also okay

}

};

int main()

{

CTest objTest;

objTest.m_n = 2; //okay and not class modifing it.

COther objOther(objTest);

}

As you can see, the public member m_n in object CTest is accessible everywhere.
