Defining Private and Public Fields within a Struct

I see that in cpp you can define a struct to have private and public members. However, I do not see that option within Matlab. I know that there is option to use classes, however I would like to understand better if structs can have this as well.

C++ standard section reference, please.

I believe you are mistaken. I think you are talking about C++ classes, not C++ struct .

Hi @Walter Roberson there are many articles online that show examples of C++ structs being able to define private members, as public members are default. Thank you for your swift feedback! It sounds like from other comments as well that this is not possible in Matlab.

No, all fields in a struct are publicly accessible.

As far as I know, matlab struct does not support access modifiers. Maybe you need to write a class which starts like this:

classdef myClass < handle
    properties (Access = public)
        public1
        public2
    end
    properties (Access = private)
        private1
        private2
    end
