In C structure

1) We can not have access specifiers

2) Can not have functions.

But in C++

1) We can specify data and functions as public, Private or protected.

In C++ structure is also a class with Private as default access specifier

What's that supposed to mean ITBal? What OOP concepts are you talking about?I agree with Ritesh though.

c is structure oriented language whereas, c++ is object oriented i think this may be a difference

1> The data members in C++ structure are private by default while in C they are public .2> The structure variable initialization in C slso contains the struct keyword , while in C++ struct word is not required . 3>In C++ structures , we can have functions as members .

In c++ struct elements are 'public' by default

C++ structs are classes with default access as public.
C++ structs are types
C++ structs require a ;
C++ structs support ctors/dtors
C++ structs support explicit access specification
C++ structs support inheritance
C++ structs do not have tag names (they are already types)

C structs are simple maps of memory
C structs have tag names
C structs are not types (need to be typedef)

In C++ all the members of a structure are public by default as in case of C.

However, C++ structures can contain member functions whereas a structure in C can contain only data.

Structure in C++ are similar to a Class the only difference being that members of a class are private by default whereas menbers of a structure are public by default.
