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
