Hi,

What is the reason for the following code that does not let me to create object.

class base
{
    public:
        void foo()
        { cout << "base::foo()"; }
};

class derived : private base
{
    public:
        void foo()
        { cout << "deived::foo()"; }
};

void main()
{
    base *d = new derived();
    d->foo();
}

It Gives me error :

" 'type cast' : conversion from 'derived *' to 'base *' exists, but is inaccessible"

Thanks in advance :)
