What are the differences between specifiers?

Can you explain the differences between specifiers in programming?

Sure! Specifiers are keywords that define the properties of variables, functions, or data types. They can indicate visibility, data type, or other attributes.

What are some common types of specifiers?

Common types include access specifiers like 'public', 'private', and 'protected', as well as type specifiers like 'int', 'float', and 'char'.

How do access specifiers affect encapsulation?

Access specifiers control the visibility of class members, helping to enforce encapsulation by restricting access to certain parts of the code.

Can you give an example of using specifiers in a code snippet?

Certainly! In C++, you might see:

class MyClass {
private:
    int myVar;
public:
    void setVar(int val) { myVar = val; }
};

Here, 'private' and 'public' are access specifiers.
