Syntax:

    class class-name : inheritance-list {
    private-members-list;
    protected:
    protected-members-list;
    public:
    public-members-list;
    } object-list;

The class keyword allows you to create new classes. class-name is the name of the class that you wish to create, and inheritance-list is an optional list of classes inherited by the new class.

Members of the class are private by default, unless listed under either the protected or public labels. object-list can be used to immediately instantiate one or more instances of the class, and is also optional.

For example:

     class Date {
       int Day;
       int Month;
       int Year;
     public:
       void display();
     };
