9.22.3.A function can be a member of one class and a friend of another
#include <iostream> 
using namespace std; 
 
class Cylinder; // a forward declaration 
 
enum colors red, green, yellow }
 
class Cube 
 colors color; 
public
  Cube(colors c) { color= c; 
  bool sameColor(Cylinder y)
}
 
class Cylinder 
 colors color; 
public
  Cylinder(colors c) { color = c; 
  friend bool Cube::sameColor(Cylinder y)
}
 
bool Cube::sameColor(Cylinder y) { 
  if(color == y.color
    return true
  else 
    return false

 
int main() 

  Cube cube1(red)
  Cube cube2(green)
  Cylinder cyl(green)
 
  if(cube1.sameColor(cyl)) 
    cout << "cube1 and cyl are the same color.\n"
  else 
    cout << "cube1 and cyl are different colors.\n"
 
  if(cube2.sameColor(cyl)) 
    cout << "cube2 and cyl are the same color.\n"
  else 
    cout << "cube2 and cyl are different colors.\n"
 
  return 0
}
cube1 and cyl are different colors.
cube2 and cyl are the same color.
