inheritance-

[mehak]

Write your question here.

  #include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class A
{
private:
    int a;
};
class B:public A
{
private:
    int j;
};
int main()
{
    cout<<sizeof(B);
}

my doubt is .. y is sizeof class B coming out to b 8 when B contains only 1 integer data member as data member of A wont be inherited coz its private

Private members do get inherited. They just can't be accessed directly outside of the class they are declared in.
