different subjects and the total marks of these subjects are todifferent subjects and the total marks of these subjects are to
be included as new data members in the above class. This isbe included as new data members in the above class. This is
done by adding new members in the class. There are two waysdone by adding new members in the class. There are two ways
in which these new members can be added to the class:in which these new members can be added to the class:
•• Add new members in the originalAdd new members in the original
•• Define a new class that has the new members and that alsoDefine a new class that has the new members and that also

 Difference between private and protected inheritanceDifference between private and protected inheritance
 If you inherit a class in private mode the public members of the base class become private in the
derived class. If the base class has some protected members they also become private. Now
these members are not accessible by the functions of the classes which are derived from the
child class.
Incase of protected inheritance, the public members of the base class become protected in the
derived class. If the base class has got protected members they also become protected in the
derived class. Now the main difference between protected and private inheritance is that the
members inherited in protected mode are ready for further inheritance which is not the case for
private inheritance.
