The document explains that in C++ object-oriented programming, a mutator is a member function designed to modify data, allowing edits to protected data items. It clarifies that mutator functions require access to private data, while accessor functions do not. Additionally, the document distinguishes mutators from accessors, noting that mutators change data while accessors provide read-only access.

1-The term mutator in the C++ Object Oriented Programming commonly refers to what type of functions?
a)Mutators and accessor functions are essentially the same.
b) A mutator is a member function that is meant to niter the data and allows for editing of the contents of
a protected data items.
c)Mutators modify non-private data objects while Accessors modify private data parts.
d) A mutator is meant to onlv provide read only access to the private data.
e)Mutators modify the member functions.
2- A Mutator function within a class must have access to the private data item but Accessor functions should not.
