You can access the private members of a base class say A through an inherited member function of A

#include
using namespace std;

class A{
    int a;
    
    public:
    A(){};
    A(int val){a=val;};
    
    int get_a(){//To access a private variable it must be initialized here
        a=10;
        return a;
    }
};

class B: public A{
    int b;
    
    public:
    B(){};
    B(int val){b=val;};
    
    void get(){
        cout<
