A class can be considered a stone, and an object can be any individual, specific stores such as grocery stationery, fruit, and more. All items here are the particular properties of the main class. In turn, the stone may have its own select properties, such as specific design or lighting.

It is through items that we see the class. They produce examples of the class. Struct, on the other hand, only includes the data, and therefore it is beneficial in framing the individual data obligations through struct objects.

Unlike class, it lacks functions. All stores can use the struct entrance with names and sizes. Classes shape the basic framework, and they can be reused. Classes can be inherited to form subclasses, but structs cannot utilize inheritance. The struct is also more of a public function, while class is private.

You can differentiate the terms ‘class’ and ‘struct’ by looking at some of their functions and check where they differ. The first function we will discuss is their reusability. You can use all the properties of the individual elements in a class for one another. On the contrary, each element of a struct has different properties meaning you can’t use the properties of one element for another. The second function I will use to differentiate the two is visibility. If a particular class is stored and you store a function under it, the function will be visible to all objects under the class. In contrast, this cannot happen in structs. The third function that will be discussed is Inheritance. This function is similar to the literal meaning of the word inheritance. This means sub-classes can inherit all the functions of the main classes. On the contrary, structs do not support this function.

The differences between classes and structures can sometimes be hard to understand. The class will be in charge of providing the flexibility of combining methods and data functions. The struct is normally used when you would like to group data. When you say class, this means that all of the members will be private by default. When you say struct, this means that the different members will be public by default. You can use a struct when you would like to represent one specific value because structs are known to be used for value types. If you would choose to pass a struct, then you know for sure that the content of the struct will be duplicated.
