Resolving Shadowed Variables using this->

Medium Encapsulation, Access Specifiers & The this Pointer

Problem Statement

Create a `Student` class with a private attribute `int id`. Write a constructor `Student(int id)` where the parameter name exactly matches the attribute name. Use `this->id = id;` to resolve the shadowing. Add a getter and print the ID in `main()`.

Input Format

A single integer.

Output Format

Print 'ID: [val]'.

Constraints

None

Sample Input

Sample Output

ID: 10

Explanation

When local parameters have the exact same name as class attributes, the local variable 'shadows' the class variable. Using `this->` explicitly points to the class attribute.

Starter Code

#include <iostream>

class Student {
    // Define attributes, constructor, and getter
};

int main() {
    // Instantiate Student with input and print
    return 0;
}
