structures vs classes

In C++ the difference between struct and class is the default accessibility (class is private, while struct is public).

Depending on if you're using the GC or native heap, the meaning of struct/class will be different:

Hi forum389. I probably made things more confusing than necessary by mentioning the native vs GC heap. The difference between structs and classes in C++ is the default access of members and methods.

Take look at the links, and let us know if you have any other questions.
