C++ Classes

The bare minimum of C++ in a Win32 console program: define a class with a few public data members (int, char pointer, fixed array), declare one global instance of it, assign values to the members, and print them back out. It is a useful reference for the exact difference between defining a class and declaring an object of that class - the commented line shows the declaration syntax. Use it as a starting point when you are adding your first classes to an otherwise plain-C codebase.

#include <windows.h>
#include <windowsx.h>
#include <stdio.h>


/* Create Class */
class ExampleCalss
{
public:
	int MyInt;
	char *MyChar;
	char MyArray[1024];
};

/* Declare Class */
/* class ClassName NameYouWantToCallIt; */
class ExampleCalss MyClass;
