Hi

There is only one case in which u can inherit a member into derived class by using PROTECTED Access specifire for that member . a member with protected specifire remain private for same class but it is possible to inherit this member into derived classes so this is the only way for this problem.

Private members cannot be inherited

only public and protected members can be inherited.

private members can be accessed with the help of FRIEND function.

protected members can inherit as protected public members can be inherited as public but private cannot be inherited.

We cannot even we use protected inheritance

Look:

class Dericed: protected Base

{

}

Protected inheritance

It is almost never used except in very particular cases. With protected inheritance the public and protected members become protected and private members stay private.

To summarize in table form:

Protected inheritance is similar to private inheritance. However classes derived from the derived class still have access to the public and protected members directly. The public (stuff outside the class) does not.
