[Solved] Making “Objects” In C++ | C++ | JS [closed]

Question

In C++, to make a custom object, you use classes, structs, and unions (although unions are a more advance topic).

A class is a user-defined type, where the default access modifier is private.

A struct is a class, but where the default access modifier is public.

A union is a more advanced topic, you may research it if you want.

For your case, you would translate this:

let someObject = {
    dataType: 'char',  // string
    character: 'c',    // char
    pos: {
        line: 1,   // unsigned int
        col:  1    // unsigned int
    }
}

Into this:

class someObject {
    std::string str = "char";
    char ch="c";

    unsigned int line = 1;
    unsigned int column =  1;
};

You could make a subclass “pos” for your ints, if you wished.

There are plenty of tutorials out there you can try.
