Yes, a struct is identical to a class except for the default access level (member-wise and inheritance-wise). (and the extra meaning class carries when used with a template)
Every functionality supported by a class is consequently supported by a struct. You’d use methods the same as you’d use them for a class.
struct foo {
int bar;
foo() : bar(3) {} //look, a constructor
int getBar()
{
return bar;
}
};
foo f;
int y = f.getBar(); // y is 3
Structs can have functions just like classes. The only difference is that they are public by default:
struct A {
void f() {}
};
Additionally, structs can also have constructors and destructors.
struct A {
A() : x(5) {}
~A() {}
private: int x;
};
