Lesson 22 - Advanced Inheritance in C++
In the previous lesson, Exceptions in C++, we looked at exceptions. Today, in the C ++ tutorial, we're going to talk about advanced inheritance techniques, such as private and multiple inheritance.
Private and Protected Inheritance
Until now, we used the public
keyword to inherit from a class.
We already know how this keyword works for a long time. If we use the
private
keyword instead, then all the public
and protected
members of the class we inherit from become
private. Members are both methods and fields. A class can use
public
and protected
fields and methods of the base
class in its own methods, but we cannot access them from outside or from derived
classes. In principle, we can imagine that with private
inheritance, all public
and protected
members are
rewritten to private
. However, we still do not have access to
private
members of the base class (the one we inherit from).
Protected inheritance works similarly. public
is replaced by
