What it is
A short beginner C++ tutorial from Bucky Roberts of thenewboston, lesson 13 in his series. It shows how to declare variables inside a class and use public member functions to set and get a private name value.

I watched this tutorial [this video] and I can get the code to output a string easy, but I want the user to be able to set their own name and save it. Sorry I'm really new to c++ so any help would be greatly appreciated thank you.

I am not sure how to use it properly yet, I am just following NewBoston's C++ tutorial [this video] , lesson 13 to be exact.

So I don't know if you any of you have been/goes on the NewBoston.Com (great resource by the way), but I was watching this video and the teacher was saying how you can access private info using public functions... This is the video: [this video] And of course, just skip to the end to get to the gist of it. The thing I don't get though, is how can you access private information using a public function. If you make a function that's public that allows anyone to set the name, and get that name, then isn't it just public anyway?, Wouldn't anyone be able to mess my code and my desired output?
