What type of function is put in the public interface of a class?
Member function
Where do you declare a member function?
In the class Function
What is the main purpose of a constructor?
To initialize an object
What is a class?
A set of objects with the same behavior
What does the state of the object mean?
The value that your function is tracking(Internal data)
Can you put parameters in a member function?
Yes
Where do you define a member function?
Inside the class definition or Outside the class definition
Do default constructors take parameters?
They never take parameters
What is the public interface?
The specifications for the member functions that you can invoke
What notation do member functions use?

What is encapsulation?
The process of providing a public interface while hiding the implementation details
This allows for an object to be initialized with specific values when created. It needs to share a name with the member function
A constructor
When do you use const on a member function?
When it doesn’t change any of the data members
What is the main purpose of creating member functions?
To encapsulate behavior, allowing objects to interact with and manipulate their own data
