Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

// Forward declaration of class B


class B;

class A {
private:
int privateData;
public:
A() : privateData(10) {} // Constructor initializing privateData

// Declaring class B as a friend of class A


friend class B;

// Friend function declaration


friend void showPrivateData(A obj);
};

// Friend function definition


void showPrivateData(A obj) {
cout << "Private data from class A: " << obj.privateData << endl;
}

class B {
public:
void accessPrivateData(A& obj) {
cout << "Accessing private data from class A in class B: " << obj.privateData << endl;
}
};

int main() {
A objA;
B objB;
// Accessing private data of A using friend function
showPrivateData(objA);

// Accessing private data of A using friend class B


objB.accessPrivateData(objA);

return 0;
}
