--- class Subclass: public BaseClass --- This means the members that are inherited from BaseClass are going to be public in the subclass. However, protected members remain protected --- class subClass : private BaseClass --- This means the members that are inherited from BaseClass are going to be private in the subclass. --- class subclass : protected BaseClass --- I thing you got the idea. ;) Useful link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/860339/difference-between-private-public-and-protected-inheritance

That's true for inherited members. New members can have any access specifier you provide.
