Can a parent class access the functions of child class?
no, Parent class can not access the members of child class ,but child class can access members of parent class
Is it true that a derived class inherits all the members of its base class?
False. A derived class inherits the public and protected members of its base class. Private members of the base class cannot be inherited.
How does a class in c plus plus enforce data encapsulation?
Data encapsulation is enforced by restricting access to the class members. Access can be specified on a per-member basis, defaulting to private access for a class and public access for a struct. Private members are accessible to class members and to friends of the class. Protected members are the same as private members but are also accessible to derived class members. Public members are fully-accessible. Data members are typically declared private while interfaces are typically declared public or protected.
What is affirmed by the class is affirmed by the members of the class?
appicability
What do you mean by protected derivation of a sub class from base class?
When you derive a class (the sub-class) from a base class using protected access, all public members of the base class become protected members of the derived class, while protected members of the base class will remain protected. Private members are never inherited so they remain private to the base class. By contrast, if you use public inheritance, the public members of the base class remain public to the derived class, while protected members of the base class remain protected in the derived class. If you use private inheritance, both the public and protected members of the base class become private to the derived class. Note that accessibility cannot be increased, only reduced or left the same. That is, a protected member of a base class cannot be inherited as a public member of a derived class -- it can only be declared private or remain protected. Note also that accessibility is viewed from outside of the derived class. That is, all members of a base class other than the private members are inherited by the derived class and are therefore fully accessible to the derived class. But from outside of the derived class, all base class accessibility is determined by the access specified by the type of inheritance.
