classscoped
Classscoped is an informal term used in programming to describe the scoping regime in which identifiers are organized under a class’s namespace. The concept emphasizes that a class defines its own lexical boundary, and that names declared inside are resolved with respect to the class rather than the surrounding module, file, or global scope. The idea reflects broader encapsulation principles found in many languages, including C++ class scope, Java and C# nested types, and generic patterns for organizing APIs.
Key features commonly associated with classscoped designs include access control modifiers (such as private, protected, and
Typical benefits of classscoped organization are improved encapsulation, clearer API boundaries, and easier maintenance, since the
In practice, classscoped behavior is implemented through language features rather than a single keyword. For example,
