relation between classes


Hi,

I have two classes. The first one contains a lot of variables that I would like to access directly from the second class without having to implement functions such as GetProperties()... and Set()...

How can I do that, what is the synthax? By friend functions or inheritance or ... ?

Thx a lot in advance.

JN

from what you say a friend class would be the best implementation. hopefully the following code should help.
Code:
class B;

class A
{ 
int p;
friend class B;
public:
int whatIsP() { return p; }
};

class B
{
public:
void setP(A& a, int b) { a.p=b; }
};

int main()
{
A a;
B b;

b.setP(a, 0);
cout << a.whatIsP();
b.setP(a, 1);
cout << a.whatIsP();

return 0;
}
have a look at www.cplusplus.org for the syntax if ive done it wrong.
