[Help]Protected vs private

Protected only used when other classes inherit from the base class? lolwut?

i know confuses me too. In Java private does what protected does, so that really through me on a loop.

Rule of thumb: The C++ language is full of shit tricks like that. I myself don't even fully understand private and whatever

private = only to same class

protected = can be accessed by derived classes.

Exactly. Basically, if you declare a method within a class as "protected", it can't be called from any class that doesn't inherit the base class. Private cannot be called from any other class, even if it inherits the base class. Correct me if I'm wrong on that freedom, but that's my understanding.

Perfect, Jason. Awesome explanation too. Though I might add it also extends to variables, not just methods

Jason and dat N word Dont even belong in the same sentence..

As much as it pains me to fraternize with you shit++ fags (lubchoo 4 r3al <3), programming has common elements (such as these).

Oh and Tweak, I think I'm the only VB guy in the whole thread

programing is just like speaking. Its done in multiple languages.

Some languages are better than others

Esperanto < English

VB.NET < C++

I keed. I keed.

But .NET < Binaries
