"Inheritance break Encapsulation "

[Pallav singh]

Hi

i find Following statement while reading Design pattern in C++
( author - Erich Gamma)
"Inheritanc e break Encapsulation " because inheritance exposes to
subclass the detail of its parent's Implementation
Is it correct ???

as we only expose interface ( function prototype) to derived class But
not how it being implemented

Kindly give urs View regarding it

Thanks
Pallav

What you are saying sounds correct, but to precise public inheritance
allows inheritance of interface while private inheritance allows
inheritance of implementation.
Also you should understand in what context the author made the above
statement. What you've quoted from the textbook seems to be only a
part of the topic.
