Friend Classes
•By declaring an entire class as a friend, all members of the friend class have permission to access the protected and private members of the declaring class.
This grants special
privileges to the friend class' member
functions. However, declaring a class to be a friend does not grant any privileges to functions
that may be called by
member functions of the friend class.

declaring_class {
friend class class_name1, //class_name1
is a friend
class_name2; //class_name2
is a friend

};
