C++ private, public 和 protected 继承的区别

class A {
 public:
  int x;
 protected:
  int y;
 private:
  int z;
};

class B : public A {
  // x is public
  // y is protected
  // z is not accessible from B
};

class C : protected A {
  // x is protected
  // y is protected
  // z is not accessible from C
};

class D : private A    // 'private' is default for classes
{
  // x is private
  // y is private
  // z is not accessible from D
};

IMPORTANT NOTE: Classes B, C and D all contain the variables x, y and z. It is just question of access.
