Question: 1 / 565

Which of the following is true about inline functions compared to preprocessor macros?

Inline functions can access private class members.

Inline functions have access to private class members, making them similar to traditional functions in this aspect. Preprocessor macros, on the other hand, do not have access to private class members, as they are not bound by the rules of the programming language. This means that they can cause unexpected behavior and bugs if used incorrectly. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as inline functions do support type checking, do not significantly impact compilation time, and can be used for simple computations, respectively.
