<p>The basic data types in C++ include: <code>int</code>, <code>float</code>, <code>double</code>, <code>char</code>, and <code>bool</code>.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>A <code>struct</code> allows you to group variables of different types under a single name, creating a user-defined data type that can be used to represent a specific entity.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>A <code>class</code> acts as a blueprint for creating objects that encapsulate data (member variables) and functions (member functions) to manipulate that data.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>The main difference is that the default access specifier for members in a <code>struct</code> is public, while in a <code>class</code>, it is private.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>An <code>enum</code> provides a way to define a set of named integer constants, allowing for more readable and maintainable code.</p> Signup and view all the answers
