Even
though inheritance hierarchies allow derived classes
|
|
|
to
inherit members from their base classes, it does not
|
|
|
mean
that those members will be accessible within a
|
|
|
derived
class.
|
|
|
| • |
This
is because members within a hierarchy have their
|
|
|
own
visibility.
|
|
|
| • |
As we
have seen, public members of a base class are
|
|
|
visible
and fully accessible by classes derived from them.
|
|
|
And,
data and member functions in the private section are
|
|
|
only
available to the class in which they are defined. They
|
|
are
not accessible to any other class (with the exception of
|
|
friends).
