nctions. A friend can be a function, function template, or member function, or a class or class template, in which case the entire class and all of its members are friends. To declare a function as a friend of a class, precede the function prototype in the class definition with keyword friend as follows − class Box { double width; public: double length; friend void printWidth( Box box ); void setWidth( double wid ); }; To declare all member functions of class ClassTwo as friends of class ClassOne, place a following declaration in the definition of class ClassOne − friend class ClassTwo; Consider the following program − Live Demo #include using namespace std; class Box { double width; public: friend void printWidth( Box box ); void setWidth( double wid ); }; // Member function definition void Box::setWidth( double wid ) { width = wid; } // Note: printWidth() is not a member function of any class. void printWidth( Box box ) { /* Because printWidth() is a friend of Box, it can directly access any member of this class */ cout << "Width of box : " << box.width <
