What is difference between structure and class?

In: C++ Programming [Edit categories]

Answer:

At the simplest level, a structure is a class where the default access specifier is public, instead of private.

Formally, a structure is a class that has no methods, be they constructor, destructor, or otherwise, nor access specifiers. I make this distinction because some C++ compilers do not differentiate, and will allow you to create them, but structures with methods or access specifiers are outside the language definition.
