c++ - Private Variable Compile Error: Variable is Private -

i have following code:

class point{ private:      double x, y; public:     point(){         this->x = 0;         this->y = 0;      } //... };

i getting error on private declaration of doubles x , y:

'double point::y' private

my code works fine when rearrange as:

class point{ //private: public:      double x, y;     //public:     point(){        this->x = 0;        this->y = 0;      }    //... };

but double isn't private. if no private keyword given , doubles declared before public keyword, same private variable error.

what doing wrong / how can declare private variables properly? thanks!

i have error makers in eclipse both within class , @ declaration of doubles: (i placed x in code since can't post screen shots)

class point{ private: //public:      x double x, y;     x point(): x{0},y{0}{ }

solved: dieter lücking point out in example forgot uncomment public keyword when provided full code example. further along in code had written:

cout << "\npoint sum: " << e.x + e.gety();

this, oddly, caused errors appear both on cout line, declaration line, caused confusion. fixing cout line:

cout << "\npoint sum: " << e.x + e.gety();

solved errors. thank all!

the important thing notice in main function try access x , y directly instead of using accessor functions getx() , gety().

another thing (probably due recent editing) of member functions in point private. uncomment //public: line directly before c'tor.
