c++ private vs public inheritance code example
Example 1: inheritance protected in c++
class base
{
public:
int x;
protected:
int y;
private:
int z;
};
class publicDerived: public base
{
// x is public
// y is protected
// z is not accessible from publicDerived
};
class protectedDerived: protected base
{
// x is protected
// y is protected
// z is not accessible from protectedDerived
};
class privateDerived: private base
{
// x is private
// y is private
// z is not accessible from privateDerived
}
Example 2: c++ public inheritance not getting protected
class A
{
public:
int x;
protected:
int y;
private:
int z;
};
class B : public A
{
// x is public
// y is protected
// z is not accessible from B
};
class C : protected A
{
// x is protected
// y is protected
// z is not accessible from C
};
class D : private A // 'private' is default for classes
{
// x is private
// y is private
// z is not accessible from D
};
