structures in c++

[mehak]

can the structures in c++ have functions as members?i know structures in c++ can have functions but are they eligible to be called member functions?

[Krisando]

The only difference between struct's and classes in c++ are structs members are public while classes are private in the default context scope. Some people avoid the use of functions in struct's to avoid this kind of confusion and maintain consistency.

actually i was going through a question which was a multiple choice in which a single statement was true,in that the true statement was "Structures cannot have members as functions" so i got bit confused

That seems like a mistake in the test. As Krisando says, classes and structs are identical in all regards in C++, except for the default access.
