Object-oriented programming (OOP) has been around for decades. If you have a basic understanding of C++ and are interested in leveling up your skills, this class will help you do just that. 

Starting with an overview of the basics, you’ll dive into understanding the time-honored technique for implementing complex applications using user-defined classes. Followed up by discussing classes and objects, and then building up to the high-level topics including inheritance and polymorphism. 

Throughout the course, you’ll be fully immersed in OOP for C++, with illustrations, exercises, quizzes, and hands-on challenges every step of the way. You’ll walk away with an understanding of classes and objects behavior and be able to easily create simple, efficient, reusable and secure code.

## The Purpose of Member Functions

Member functions define the behaviour of the class.

These functions can either alter the content of the data variables or use their values to perform a certain computation. Typically, member functions are declared as *public*, although, some functions which do not need to be accessed from the outside could be kept private.

## Declaration and Definition

Like all functions, member functions can either be defined straightaway, or they could be declared first and defined later. 

Here's an example of a function being defined in the class:
