Cpp - Classes with Other Classes as Member Data

Introduction

You can build a complex class by declaring simpler classes and including them in?the declaration of the more complicated class.

The following code creates a rectangle class which is composed of four lines.

Each line is defined by two points.

A point is defined by x and y coordinates.

#include <iostream> 
 
class Point //from   w  ww  .  j  a  va 2  s .c  o m

    // no constructor, use default

    void setY(int newY) { y = newY; } 
    int getX() const { return x; } 
    int getY() const { return y; }
