Private class variable

1.They are inherited, but the keyword "private" means that only the class in which they were declared can access them.

2.If you want the subclass to access the base class variable, use protected instead of private.

3.They are not directly accessible.

4.Example :

public class BaseClass
 {  
    private const int _aNumber = 5;   
    public int ReturnANumber() { return _aNumber; }
 }

Public class Dclass :BaseClass
{

   public void Method()
   {
       // This is indirectly accessing a private implemented in the class
      int numbery = this.ReturnANumber();

    }

}
