Similarities between class and structure

Question

Specify the similarities between a class and a structure.

Answer 1

Structures and classes are two main data structures which are used by the programmers in order to build the modular programs by using OOP languages, like, Visual C# and Visual Basic .NET.

Following are some of the similarities between a class and a structure:

a) Access specifiers, that is private, public and protected, are used identically in the structures and classes in order to restrict the access of their data and methods outside their body.
b) Access level for class members and struct members, comprising nested classes and structs, is considered as private by default.
c) Both can have methods, constructors, properties, constants, fields, enumerations, events, and event handlers.
d) Both classes and structures can also implement interfaces to use the multiple-inheritance in code.
e) Both classes and structures can have the constructors along with parameter.
f) Both classes and structures can have delegates and events.
