[08:20] <Frogulis> hello people
[08:21] <Frogulis> can anyone explain to me (in small easy words :P) the meaning of "private" and "public" related to classes and structures please? (C++)
[08:28] <Shadow__X> private would be for a specific function where as public is kind of like a global variable
[08:28] <Shadow__X> take what i say with a grain of salt as i can be wrong
[08:28] <Shadow__X> i have not used c++ in a very long time
[08:29] <Frogulis> so if i create a class within a function, the variables inside it can only be used by that one function?
[08:29] <Shadow__X> specifically i think the variables are locked within the funtion
[08:29] <Shadow__X> so yes but i could be wrong
[08:30] <Frogulis> class blah {
[08:30] <Frogulis>   int x;
[08:30] <Frogulis> {
[08:30] <Frogulis> }
[08:30] <Frogulis> *
[08:30] <Frogulis> argh
[08:30] <Frogulis> gawd
[08:30] <Frogulis> i stuffed that up
[08:30] <Frogulis> anyway
[08:30] <Frogulis> i think i get you
[08:30] <Frogulis> thanks
[09:43] <s-fox> Hello.
[10:32] <dsuch> Hi there, I've just released software which is very happy to run on Ubuntu (it's a security proxy) and would like to let the people on forums know about it.
[10:33] <dsuch> Was wondering if you could perhaps recommend the forum for sending out the announcement? The last thing I'd like to do is to have it look like some sort of spam.
[10:33] <dsuch> I'm browsing the list of forums and can't quite find the right place (maybe there is none?)
