brand = x;

}
};

Just like functions, constructors can also be defined outside the class.

class Car {
public:
string brand;
string model;
int year;
// Constructor declaration
Car(string x, string y, int z);

};

// Constructor definition outside the class

Car::Car(string x, string y, int z) {
brand = x;
model = y;
year = z;
}

Access Specifiers

In C++, there are three access specifiers:

Public - Members are accessible from outside the class

Private - Members cannot be accessed (or viewed) from outside the class
Protected - members cannot be accessed from outside the class, however, they can be accessed in inherited classes.

KEY Points: By default class are private if you don't specify an access specifier

Encapsulation

Encapsulation is defined as the wrapping up of data under a single unit.

It is the mechanism that binds together code and the data.
Hidding the sensitive Data from user.
Encapsulation ensures better control of your data, because you (or others) can change one part of the code without a
To achieve this Class/Variables/Attributes declare as private.

KEY Points: To access a private attribute, use public "get" and "set" methods

class Employee {
private:
int salary;
public:

void setSalary(int s) {
salary = s;
}

int getSalary() {
return salary;
