Cin with private attributes

Question

Does this mean if we want to take values and assign them to the private attributes we use for example:
Cin>>className.setName()??

Then you should be good to go. The method setName becomes a sort of 'gate guard', controlling if and how the private variable will be changed.

The decisive factor would be, if the method setName itself is public or not.

Can you show the className definition? Somehow that line doesn't look like a valid statement to me. The right hand side operand is a function call rather than a variable, or anything that can receive data extracted by the input stream.
Comonly, a setter like `setName` takes an argument, which is used as new value for a member data. But in that code it takes none, I'm not sure how the data extracted is then passed as argument for `setName` setter function.
