member variables vs member functions

[NookLines]

I seriously do not know what the difference is, could anybody please provide a sample as to what a member variable is and what a member function is?

Thank you so much in advance!

A member function is a function that is part of a class.

A member variable is a variable (an object) that is part of a class.

class Class
{
public:
	void memberFunction();
private:
	int memberVariable;
};

Thank you so much for responding Peter!

So, just to clarify, according to the definition then, something like (below) would be following my teacher's guidelines ? (she said we can only have three member variables)

class Date
{
private:
int day,month,year ;

public:



Date operator//
Date operator//

friend ostream &operator//
friend istream &operator//
Date() //
Date//
void blabla//
int getDate() //
bool operator //
bool operator //
};

[Peter87]

Yes, your Date class has three member variables day, month and year.

Thank you very much for the help, you cleared up my confusion over this definition (and now I can turn in this project finally..)

I hope you have a nice day / night !!
