Whar does it mean class b:virtual private a{protected: int X;public int Y;}

[EverBeginner]

How to read a class field?

[Kyon]

.. what?

[EverBeginner]

Apoligies. I missed the colon in public section.

class b:virtual private a{protected: int X;public: int Y;}

Do you not understand the syntax or something?

It means this:

'b' is a class
'b' derives from 'a' virtually and privately
'X' and 'Y' are both integers, and are members of 'b'
'X' is protected
'Y' is public

If I knew I would never ask.

[Disch]

I just wasn't sure if I understood your question or not.

It might help if you wrote if using more conventional formatting.
