protected members are not accessible in derived classes
c++, inheritance, private-members, protected
Solution
You can access `protectedmemberA` inside `b`. You're attempting to access it from the outside. It has nothing to do with inheritance.
This happens for the same reason as the following:
class B
{
protected:
int x;
};
//...
B b;
b.x = 0; //also illegal
Problem
Why is that protected members in the base class where not accessible in the derived class? ``` class ClassA { public: int publicmemberA; protected: int protectedmemberA; private: int privatememberA; ClassA(); }; class ClassB : public ClassA { }; int main () { ClassB b; b.protectedmemberA; // this says it is not accesible, violation? //..... } ```
