We all know that to fix serious problems you need a hammer, but how do you fix a broken hammer?!

My God! It’s hammers all the way down!
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

The smith came first: you can cast a pair of crude hammers using sand and a wooden former, then use one to refine the other. With refined (or even pretty crude) hammers, you can start forging and produce better hammers and other tools.

Yeah?! And how exactly do you dig up sand and cut down trees without hammer, I ask you!

Stone tools. 
Flint is sharp, and easy to work (if you know how).

You can make an even cruder hammer out of a large stone.

Are you saying Obelix was a smith and carrying a hammer on his back all day? (when he wasn't throwing it at romans)

He used to mostly throw Romans at Romans!

You can, but it wouldn't be a lot of use for metalwork: stone is too brittle and liable to fracture with heating.

Just grab any tool. After all, every tool has a hammer side.

Disregarding the flagrant violation of protocol, and the total disregard of the red text at the top of the forum, those of you who have programmed in C++, have you ever used protected and private inheritance? I've never had a use for it, but have been extremely curious about when they are handy. They are not in C# (from what I've read), but maybe I've overlooked something, and they are useful in ways I don't know? Your thoughts and experiences, to expand an undeveloped understanding...

I never used protected or private inheritance.
Anyway, I reckon they could be useful.
|
|
|
|
|
The first time I read about them (years ago), they made no sense to me. The last reading I did made them seem like protected inheritance made public members protected, and private inheritance made public members private in the derived class. I can see this maybe being useful in some situations, but am curious as to where that would be the case.
|
|
|
|
|
I suppose they could have use, for instance, in implementing a Facade design pattern.
|
|
|
|
|
All members of the base class get restricted to the inheritance type. So both public and protected members of the base class are now private in the derived class if using private inheritance. So any users of that derived class don't "see" the inheritance. As I said in my other post, I've never seen a good example of why this would be needed though 
EDIT: Two words for clarity. Also private base class members are still not visible to the derived class iirc.
