Inheritance 449

In the above syntax, class A is a base class, class B is a derived class. Her

e, class B is derived publicly.

(2)

class B : private A // private derivation

{

// members of class B

};

(3)

class B: A // by default private derivation

{

// members of class B

};

(4)

class B : protected A // same as private

{

// members of class B

};

(5)

Struct B : A // public derivation

{

// Members of class B

};

In the above syntaxes, the class B is derived privately from base class A. If no access specifier is given, the

default mode is private. The use of protected access specifier give same results as private derivation. If

struct is used instead ...
