Friend Function in C++ Language



What is Friend Function ?

1-Friend Function is not a member function of a class to which it is a friend.

2-Friend function is declared in the class with friend keyword

3-It must be defined outside the class to which it is friend.

4-Friend function can access any member of the class to which it is friend.

5-Friend function cannot access members of the class directly.

6-It has no caller object.

7-It should not be defined with membership label.


Example :



As we are seeing in quotation given above, the friend fun() has been called without caller object i.e fun() and the friend function declared  inside Class but  defined outside the Class.


Lets discuss how friend function can  become friend to more than one class






As we are seeing in quotation given above, the friend function can access both private member of class i.e A and B  together with the help of object i.e fun(A o1,B o2). 

But there is an error in the quotation above. Let's see what the error is and how to remove it:-



The compiler is giving an error which means that the compiler does not understand the meaning of the letter B in the Friend function i.e friend void fun(A,B);

Now lets see how to remove this error :-


In order to solve the above error, we will have to make a forward class declaration i.e class B that the compiler can know the difference in both the B.

It was proposed by Bell Communications in 1991, and the specification was originally defined in June 1992 for RFCs 1341 and 1342. MIME was designed to extend the format of email to support non-ASCII characters, attachments other than text format, and message bodies which contain multiple parts. MIME describes the message content type and the type of encoding used with the help of headers. All manually composed and automated emails are transmitted through SMTP in MIME format. The association of Internet email with SMTP and MIME standards is such that the emails are sometimes referred to as SMTP/MIME email. The MIME standard def...
