Please explain the difference betweein Private,Public and Protected
data members and functions.
Public functions and variables are available to any calling function. Constructors are usually public(but not always)
Variables can be modified by calling functions
Private functions and variables are only available to the class member functions and classes declared as friends
protected functions and variables are similar to private member functions but are also available to derived classes
