C++ classes question

[CJPowell27]

Hey guys, I had a quick question about classes in c++ that I cannot think of the logical answer for

My question is what happens if a member function has a local variable that is the same name as

a data member? Which one would take precedence? Also what functions can modify private data

members in a class?

Local scope comes first, then class scope. The function variable comes first. General good practice is to add a _ at the end of class variables.

Member and friend functions of the class
